Which program are you talking about? There seem to be two:

1. NSA has been conducting warrantless phone-taps on calls between people in the US and people outside it. This story was broken by the NY Times last December (though they knew about it before the 2004 elections, but went along with a White House request to keep mum).
2. NSA has been constructing a massive database of phone call info, containing information about all calls, foreign and domestic, placed through AT&T, BellSouth, and Verizon. This story was broken by USA Today just a few days ago.

The CNN story Solarbird linked to was about an investigation into program #1. You seem to be talking about program #2.
