The Story of Convicted Somali-born Basaaly Moalin

The New Yorker published on 26 January 2015 a long article titled "The Whole Haystack" by Mattathias Schwartz.  The focus of the article is Somali-born Basaaly Moalin, who was living in San Diego and convicted of financing Somali extremists.  Much of the article is devoted to the issue of access to phone records and whether that is the best way to catch a terrorist.
