I posted this previously but the day fags were too busy with bewbs.
This was a group discussion in the last week or two with NSA insiders Bill Binney, Edward Loomis, Kirk Wiebe, Thomas Drake, and Diane Roark.
They talk about what NSA was doing prior to and after 9/11, and how they essentially abandoned the tools they developed in-house in the 90's and handed it over Israel, who turned around and packaged it and resold it to NSA for a fortune. No love here for Bush admin either, going so far as to refer to Darth Cheney.
Includes video of the entire discussion (just under 2 hours). Great listen, good for a background listen.
