In The Spy Factory, an eye-opening documentary on the National Security Agency (NSA) by best-selling author James Bamford and Emmy Award-winning producer Scott Willis, NOVA exposes the ultra-secret intelligence agency's role in the failure to stop the 9/11 attacks and the subsequent eavesdropping program that listens in without warrant on millions of American citizens. The Spy Factory premieres Tuesday, February 3, 2009 at 8 pm ET/PT on PBS (check local listings)

1. I wonder if they'll mention "Operation Northwoods"

NOVA exposes the ultra-secret intelligence agency's role in the failure to stop the 9/11 attacks...

Yeah, right: "Failure to stop the 9/11 attacks" :eyes:

2. I had just listened to the Shadow Factory last week.

Both audible and e-text versions are in my shirt-pocket (in my cell-phone!). I try to stay well clear of so-called "conspiracy theories", but to me Bamford is a very credible source!

I'm off TV, but I expect that PBS program to show up on the web. When that happens, it'll be time to go through that book again. Thanks for the alert!

4. CENSORED

FYI OETA in Oklahoma City has found it more important to broadcast Celtic Woman Holiday Special.

5. That's a bummer.

I'm sure it will get posted online.
