Washington Post backing off PRISM claims
http://j.mp/17vsuYa (Business Insider0
"And now, 24 hours later, after more denials and questions, the Post
has made at least two important changes to its spying story. First,
the Post has eliminated the assertion that the technology companies
"knowingly" participated in the government spying program. Second,
and more importantly, the Post has hedged its assertion that the
companies have granted the government direct access to their servers.
The latter change is subtle, but important. In the first version of
its story, the Post stated as a fact that the government had been
given direct access to the companies' servers."

More evidence that the direct access back doors claims are bull.
