One in Nine is a Target

The Washington Post's review of sample data supplied by Edward Snowden shows that the NSA collects data on nine regular citizens for every "target" they try to focus on, which they estimate means 900,000 people. And once the NSA collects that data, they keep it forever, even if they know that it was collected "inadvertantly."
