The American people are not the only ones the NSA/FBI lie to... Notice how secrecy keeps playing a major part in all this...June 28, 1996, NYT, "Lawmaker Tells of High Cost of Keeping Secret Data Secret", the House intelligence committee said, not even including the CIA, the U.S. spends FIVE POINT SIX BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR (twice the annual combined budgets of the FBI and DEA) on "a document classification system stuck on autopilot, indiscriminately stamping 'Top Secret' on thousands of documents every year."

From: quasi on 18 Apr 2008 18:43 " FYI note: this document's opening quote is from this book. P122: For the last three decades the NSA has been a frequent and secret participant in regulatory matters before the Federal Communications Commission, where important decisions are made that directly affect the structure of the telephone company, the use of radio airwaves and the operation of communication satellites. ] P317: 1962. Now, for the first time, NSA had begun turning its massive ear inward toward its own citizens. With no laws or legislative charter to block its path, the ear continued to turn. P319: The Secret Service, the CIA, the FBI and the DIA submitted entries for the NSA's watch list. The names on the various watch lists ranged from members of radical political groups to celebrities to ordinary citizens involved in protest against their government. Included were such well-known figures as Jane Fonda, Joan Baez, Dr. Benjamin Spock, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Reverand Ralph Abernathy, Black Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver, and Chicago Seven defendants Abbie Hoffman and David T. Dellinger. A frightening side effect of the watch list program was the tendency of most lists to grow, expanding far beyond their original intent. This multiplier effect was caused by the inclusion of names of people who came in contact with those per

broad definition of intelligence that was fostered by the National Security Agency and its godfather, the National Security Council. Computer research was supported by NSA in a major way by secret research dollars. Thomas C. Reed, Director of the Pentagon's Telecommunications, Command and Control System, referring to domestic intercity telephone microwave radio trunks, said in 1975, "Modern computer techniques make it possible to sort through that traffic and find target conversations easily." p126-127: Since the wiretap law barred the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs from installing a tap on New York City's Grand Central Station pay phones, bureau head John Ingersoll asked the NSA for help. Within a few months the spy agency was sorting through all the conversations it was already acquiring for general intelligence purposes. Of course, the technicians were required to acquire, monitor, and discard a large number of calls made by people with no connection with the cocain |
