Just doing its job

摘要

In mid-March, the George Washington University-based National Security Archive (www.gwu.edu/～nsarchiv) added to its already impressive collection of National Security Agency-related documents. The most recent addition is the December 2000 Transition 2001"document provided to the then-incoming Bush administration. This document recommends that the agency get even deeper into the network monitoring business and makes for quite interesting reading, particularly since it is reasonable to assume that equivalent documents were created by intelligence agencies in other parts of the world.
