Uncle Sam's Security Agencies: Drowning In Oceans Of Data

Dear C,

Thanks for your email.

Like you, I think NSA surveillance is over the top.

However, I also think "security" officials must be drowning in all that data.

Perhaps I underestimate the ability of algorithms to make sense of "noise."

What I know for fact is that during the run-up to 9/11 Dubyah ignored a hand-delivered brief entitled "Bin Laden Determined To Strike In United States." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bin_Ladin_Determined_To_Strike_in_US

We now have the 2.0 upgrade of "Shit in, shit out."

"More shit in, more shit out."

To paraphrase Marie Antoinette: "Let them eat shit."

PS Do you remember Arthur's old joke? 

"What's the difference between Bush and a real cowboy?" 

"With real cowboys the shit's on the outside of the boots."
