Hello, is there NSA on the line? I would like to talk about those broadly worded exceptions

The National Security Agency has built a surveillance system capable of recording about 100 percent of a foreign country’s telephone calls, according to Washington Post with their direct knowledge of the effort and documents, supplied by former contractor Edward Snowden.
The Post's story explains the Obama administration's recent guidance on bulk collection.

An independent group tasked by the White House to review U.S. surveillance policies recommended that incidentally collected U.S. calls and e-mails — including those obtained overseas — should nearly always “be purged upon detection".
President Obama did not accept that recommendation, tells the The Post.
Under the NSA’s internal “minimization rules,” those intercepted communications “may be retained and processed” and included in intelligence reports. The agency generally removes the names of U.S. callers, but there are several broadly worded exceptions.
