"These documents prove that the NSA is spying on you, and not just Americans. They are spying on the citizens of over 35 different countries."

... not that I can see.

I haven't gone through them all yet, but so far much of it has been documents and presentations about DoD's internal enterprise/master-data infrastructure. There's a couple of very broad scoped pdfs related to GIG, or Global Information Grid, which seems to be an encompassing term for DOD's network-centric-warefare systems. Lots of it is very dry, technical documentation for internal information systems stuff, e.g. roles and responsibilities surrounding software change requests. Nothing that looks secret, and certainly nothing related to covert wiretapping networks. Dates are scattered between 2005 and early 2012.

There is one particularly out-of-place file: a cryptome leak which is ostensibly a list of "NSA spies".

Almost all documents are extremely hard to parse due to the terrifying acronyms-per-sentence ratio.

Directive: This directive directly directs the directing directors to direct said directives.

None of these documents have anything to do with PRISM. Seems like a red herring to me.

Repost from 4 days ago and the docs aren't even classified.

Another lackluster action by Anonymous. Let me know when they post something interesting; I have a feeling I'll be waiting a while.

This has already been posted. The conclusion was that all of the documents are publicly available and that there was nothing groundbreaking inside them, despite the swathe of impressive sounding govspeak.
