On his Rational Rants blog, fellow ZDNet Blogger Mitch Ratcliffe writes a post he calls NSA Eavesdropping: Deep Inefficiency.
“President Bush like to argue for the NSA’s warrant-less eavesdropping by saying ‘If you’re calling al Qaeda, we want to know why,’ ” Mitch writes. “It was a key argument during the State of the Union address. But now NSA sources are admitting that the program is yielding few or no terrorist connections.”
Yes, but what if the program really worked?
Well, on the Huffington Post Contagious Festival, an animated entry entitled Al Qaeda Caller I.D. depicts the results of an apparently successful NSA (National Security Agency) intercept of a VoIP call to Al Queda.
