NSA

So... Lets get this stright: The government spys on the anti-Bush media conspring with the enemy to harm the president. But the media leaks secrets to help the enemy kill our soulders.

And the NSA is a bad thing?

Ah, NeuStar. That's the lead I've been looking for, for the past week. You can be sure I'll have further reporting on this in a couple of days.

Regarding all these NSA stories:

Why cant people gather the premises and then form the conclusion? All of this 'reporting' is searching for premises to support an already formed conclusion.

Regarding Microsoft and the NGA:

I recently heard that Microsoft bought Vexcel, which would jive with the what the article suggests. Any word on all of this implies a move on behalf of them to start moving into the defnese industry?
