The practice isn't frequent — one official estimated a handful of cases in the last decade — but it's common enough to garner its own spycraft label: LOVEINT.

Spy agencies often refer to their various types of intelligence collection with the suffix of “INT,” such as “SIGINT” for collecting signals intelligence, or communications; and “HUMINT” for human intelligence, or spying.

My Comment: The hits from the NSA keep on coming. I am now firmly convinced .... unless someone convinces me otherwise .... that the NSA has committed gross violations of its charter, violations of the US constitution, and have lied about it continuously for years. Congress has also completely failed in their duty by not providing the proper oversight ... a fact that even some Senators are now starting to admit. There obviously needs to be an overhaul .... but unless there is some mega-blockbuster of a revelation .... I doubt that this White House and this Congress will do it.
