I strongly recommend that every thoughtful patriot click on the first link in the text and read the free online article by James Bamford before reading my reflections.
James Bamford is arguably the finest open source researcher on the topic of the National Security Agency in history. Among his many works the best have been Body of Secrets and Pretext for War.
