I wonder if it's not Afghanistan, Iran or any of the usual suapecta but actually Canada. We've got a puppet federal government submissive to US demands.. A small number of large NSA friendly telcos that reach a large majority of the population, and a large number of immigrants from all over the world. Perfect testing ground for such a system.

Why not all 3 and throw in the US as well?

The goal is too record everything which means implementing programs like this in as many countries as they can. Actually identifying which countries such programs are currently operating in would be tricky without a leak. It's a real shame this article didn't publish it.

This makes me wonder how Greenwald, Gellman, and Poitras come to a consensus on what to hold back. Clearly they all have access to the data and it would be possible (read: very likely) for them to disagree on what should and should not be withheld.
