This morning I came across an article at the Internet Storm Center about Bush’s visit to the NSA that showed their internet monitoring setup in the background.
From the article:
A little over a week ago the President of the United States visited the National Security Agency in Ft. Meade, Maryland. The visit came on the heels of allegations that domestic eavesdropping laws were broken, and that the administration had exceeded its authorized powers. We aren’t going to pick sides on that one but there was a really nice photo that showed up in the Washington Post as part of the story that we should all be proud of. When I first saw it, I thought:
Super-secret spy agency sensor grid – $Billions
Security for a visit from the President of the United States – $Millions
Showing the President that your prime source of information is a bunch of volunteers – PRICELESS!
See the photo or read the article. The image you see behind the NSA Director is the Talisker Security Wizardry Portal, which includes the DShield world map along with other security information.
That just tells me that there is intelligence in the NSA!
