Don't forget to watch The Spy Factory tonight
Edited on Tue Feb-03-09 08:26 PM by Individualist
8 pm EST on PBS.

"On the next NOVA, 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."

2. Here's a synopsis:

Edited on Tue Feb-03-09 07:58 PM by Individualist
"An examination of the National Security Agency, the intelligence body that intercepts communications, including its alleged failures prior to 9/11 and its eavesdropping practices since. It also questions whether the agency's approach is overly broad, as the cacophony of unimportant information intercepted may drown out critical intelligence, and features interviews with former FBI, CIA and NSA officials. Written by James Bamford, whose 2008 book "The Shadow Factory" mined the same ground."

8. Yes it is

They're bringing out things we've known about for a long time but haven't been acknowledged by the MSM.

The fact that there's so little interest in it on DU speaks volumes.
