This is clearly the same as the NSA call database. The Newsweek article is writing that NSA vacuums up about "the records of calls and e-mails of tens of millions of average Americans between September 2001 and March 2004."
I do not think NSA uses the name "NSA call database", Stellar Wind is their own code namne. I am going to add this information to the Swedish article on the NSA call database.
I can't tell what this non-sentence is trying to say: "Naming the official William Binney a former NSA code breaker." Can someone fix it? Kendall-K1 ( talk) 19:05, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
"NSA inspector general report on email and internet data collection under Stellar Wind – full document"
51 pages, Dated 24 Mar 2009.
The Washington Post's version is 57 pages

I think this article should be merged with the article President's Surveillance Program, as from the NSA Inspector General report from 2009 (see above) it becomes clear that STELLARWIND is the cover name for information gathered under the President's Surveillance Program.

The following is incorrect:
SARs are reports submitted by financial institutions to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau of the US Treasury, under anti-money laundering statutes. For example, if I walked into a bank with a suitcase full of $10,000 or more in cash, or made a series of large cash deposits, a SAR would be filed with FinCEN. The point is that for the first time, NSA was able to access this data.
While it was a SAR that alerted authorities to Elliot Spitzer, that is irrelevant to this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wilson945 ( talk • contribs) 15:12, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Move. The consensus is that the different capitalization is sufficient to distinguish the article. Cúchullain t/ c 17:04, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Stellar Wind – Not really ambiguous when capitalized and the only other potential meaning can be clarified with a hatnote pointing to the common noun phrase
stellar wind.

In the section "2004 conflict", this article states that Jack Goldsmith of the Office of Legal Counsel authorized the legality of Stellar Wind in May 2004. At the end of the paragraph, it's mentioned that Acting AG James Comey refused to authorize it.
This timeline is confusing on the face (May 2004 followed by March 2004?), but also it appears to contradict the narrative Comey puts forth in his memoir A Higher Loyalty (ch. 6, "On the Tracks"). One problem is that Comey adds the key detail that when he refused to sign off in March, the program was changed to bring it in line with the law according to Justice's opinion. The new version would be what Goldsmith signed off on in May.
If there are no objections, I plan to change this section to address these issues within the next few days, time permitting.

Edward Snowden on the Joe Rogan Experience (JRE) discuss his well-known disclosures and keeps mentioning Stellar Wind by name as a pivotal program that " really changed me"; was the impetus behind his leaks to the press (he's also summarizing the content of [ his book] that came out several weeks ago). Snowden mentions a Washington Post article (which is also cited in this WP article) as being important for revealing this program. IMO this JRE interview with Snowden dated October 23 2019 is the latest weight in favor of keeping Stellar Wind as an independent page not merged with other articles.
