Of course people have the right to privacy, but with something as open at the internet it's not entirely given. Even before the internet the gouvernment has always had these filters going through our e-mails. And with this spying from what I have read is more like a filter searching for key words. For example, if I were to write something like "oh this album bombed" it could pick up on that key word, just in massive preportions, over millions of documents. Also, you have to realize that in a time of war sometime measures like this are sometimes nessisary to try and at least prevent another attack.
