You think the average American would be less concerned about direct access to Google Mail than they would about the NSA having the ability to listen to everyone's phone calls?


I think the opposite, which is why I think the story is evolving to minimize the gmail access being done.


Perhaps it's evolving closer to what the truth actually was the whole time?


That is possible, though what we're seeing is the result of the PR response of the NSA taking effect. The NSA does not have any incentive for the truth to be revealed, only for the public to stop worrying about it.
