Isn't this really old news? In the early 2000's didn't bush thank AT&T for helping them record and locate possible terrorist threats? I don't have anything to source from, but this seems like old news regurgitated to appear new.

I think its part of the overall strategy, keep it in the news cycle until enough people get upset to change something. All of the documents came out in 2013, he hasn't gotten anything new since then. However with stories like this they can grab the public interest again.
I think its a good play, I'm sure that the gov't would just rather the media stopped talking about it all together, but they aren't.
