Most people are familiar to varying degrees with the FBI, CIA, ATF, IRS and other assorted federal police agencies. However, unless they have seen the movie with Will Smith and Gene Hackman, "Enemy of the State," they may not even be aware that the National Security Agency exists.
A few have heard of NSA programs like "Tempest" and "Echelon" and wondered what new mischief the U.S. government was involved in. But, until now, almost nobody knew that the NSA is the largest, most secretive and most powerful intelligence agency in the world. With a staff of 38,000 people, it dwarfs the CIA in budget, manpower and influence.
This Sunday, WorldNetDaily staff writer and talk-show host Geoff Metcalf talks with author James Bamford about his new book, "Body of Secrets," a profound look into the inner workings of the NSA. Bamford's unique insights into this ultra-secret agency are revealing. At one point in the interview, Bamford notes:
If you are working on your computer in your office and you are typing out an e-mail or whatever, somebody could be outside directing an antenna – like a parabolic antenna – at your computer and basically be reading the same screen you are reading, picking up the signals as they are being transmitted from the computer.
How does the NSA impact the lives of U.S. citizens? Is this agency operating within or around the law? Be sure not to miss Sunday's edition of WorldNetDaily and Metcalf's illuminating interview for answers to these and other important questions.
