I wonder when you people will get it, that they are not doing this to PROTECT you - but to CONTROL you.

"Q. How many people work for the NSA/CSS and what is its budget?
A. Neither the number of employees nor the size of the Agency's budget can be publicly disclosed. However, if the NSA/CSS were considered a corporation in terms of dollars spent, floor space occupied, and personnel employed, it would rank in the top 10 percent of the Fortune 500 companies."

I think personal plays a important part but I doubt even they cant come close to dealing with the billions of messages they intercept. Most of the large bulk of info is narrowed down with computer programs that search for key words or where the message came from and was being sent. Things like that then the human personal would search out was is important from that.
I would bet my last dollar the NSA has some amazing super computer networks doing this type of work as we type. Its really a interesting org. I just wish it was easier to get information on them sometimes.

NYT 'SPYING' SPLASH TIED TO BOOK RELEASE
Fri Dec 16 200 11:27:16 ET
**Exclusive**
Newspaper fails to inform readers "news break" is tied to book publication
On the front page of today's NEW YORK TIMES, national security reporter James Risen claims that "months after the September 11 attacks, President Bush secretly authorized the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on Americans and others inside the United States... without the court approved warrants ordinarily required for domestic spying, according to government officials."
Risen claims the White House asked the paper not to publish the article, saying that it could jeopardize continuing investigations and alert would-be terrorists that they might be under scrutiny.
Risen claims the TIMES delayed publication of the article for a year to conduct additional reporting.
But now comes word James Risen's article is only one of many "explosive newsbreaking" stories that can be found -- in his upcoming book!

[Odigo seems to be the same type of company as Claria (previously Gator); their biggest sin was creating a market with their annoying pop-ups, etc., that they capitalized on. I don't see anything particularly sinister about them; maybe I'm missing something?
At any rate, they are not in the same league as the NSA and Ft. Huachuca, whose abilities are second to none.
