The Baltimore Sun has a story out today which confirms what I have been posting for months regarding the NSA’s Terrorist Surveillance Program and what changed in the NSA mission post 9-11. My first point was that prior to 9-11, if the NSA was listening in on a Al Qaeda switchboard in Yemen, and if […]

As with most things having to do with computers and national security I struggle with what to discuss because just discussing what is possibly happening is feeding information to the terrorists. The terrorists are not stupid, they are just handicapped by ignorance. So I have decided to not do more than acknowledge the original reporting […]

*** Major Update: Mac Ranger has word those who leaked this story are known to authorities and this may be a political hit job *** *** Major Update at the end – and make sure to check out the comments section for links (simply cursor over the name for the comment to find trackbacks) *** […]

The liberal press is all in a tizzy tonight as some AT&T employee claims the NSA can monitor all AT&T’s traffic. Well, they probably can. But the crime would be doing so without justification or cause. The feds can destroy every city in the country with our nuclear arsenal. Big deal. But what is clear […]

** Update: Jeff at Protein Wisdom has shared my perspective on the entire NSA-FISA issue from the beginning and is always worth reading on the matter – mainly because he writes better than I do! End update. Powerline, enjoying the fruits of having the transcript of the FISA hearings, has found a segment of testimony […]

** Update: Calrice Feldman (who I neglected to mention as providing me the lead on this story in the first place) notes that the NY Times is reporting this differently (big surprise there) and that Powerline is looking into the discrepency. Thanks Clarice! End update. ** Update: It sounds like the Washington Times may be […]

When Judge Robertson quit the FIS Court last fall and became part of the NY Times leak of the NSA Terrorist Surveillance Program, many people claimed the judge left in protest. Well, Robertson supposedly said is he left because the NSA leads where being used to request FISA warrants on possible terrorist in the country: […]

I guess I am either numb to news there are terrorists or just too much of a news junky – but we all know the number of terrorists per plane on 9-11 did not appear to be a complete compliment, and that Moussaoui fit the description and had the information on his computer that easily […]

Talk about your deep denial.  I posted on tons of news in the DoJ response to questions from Congress on the NSA Terrorist Surveillance Program and FISA and the antiquated media discovers the NSA COULD OF spied on doctors and lawyers.  Not that they did.  Not that they wanted to.  Not that they would. ….

*** Welcome Powerline readers – always a pleasure to have you fine folks grace our blog. Powerline noted my over use of the word ‘bombshell’ – fair enough. I had to use something to pull out the really important news. However, the news that a FISA judge would potentially alert the target of surveillance that […]
