NSA: Report of a talk at Berkeley on the NSA, long but well worth it. A book that I should read. James Bamford is the author of The Puzzle Palace and Body of Secrets, books about the National Security Agency. He is visiting Berkeley in the School of Public Policy, and gave a talk entitled "Intelligence Failures that Led to the September 11th Attacks." "Let me ask one question: how did a Marin county high school student get inside El Qaeda in less than two years, learning major pieces of intelligence, meeting with OBL, etc.? CIA couldn’t do that?" (Via Dave Farber) 10:24:26 PM     Miami Blues: "That's some family isn't it? Incest, prostitution, fantacism, software." (Charles Willeford)   4:34:38 PM     Our neighborhood: I thought they had run this one in the last couple years sometime, but even so this diagram of the sun's neighborhood is really fascinating.
