BBC - Crime Fighters - National Security Agency As with many international intelligence agencies, the security organisations that predated the NSA were developed as part of the First World War effort between 1917 and 1918.

National Security Agency The Suez crisis would become, according to a NSA report, "the first major test of the National Security Agency during a short-term 'brushfire' crisis." NSA was moving to its new HQ at Fort Meade MD during the crisis, and its response was poor. In 1980 NSA built a 105-ft dish to intercept the COMSAT signals as it had near all 4 satellite gateways of COMSAT in the U.S. The COMSAT center at Andover is 125 miles from the NSA center at Winter Harbor Maine in Acadia National Park.

INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES AND THE RIGHTS OF AMERICANS: NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY SURVEILLANCE AFFECTING AMERICANS NSA Deputy Director Buffham supplied the Committee with a Memorandum for Record which indicated that he had personally shown the Gayler memorandum to Mitchell and had been told by the Military Assistant to Secretary of Defense Laird that the Secretary had read and agreed to the memorandum. NSA's concern about the security of American names being provided to the East Coast station stemmed from the fact that the operators were young military personnel on short tours of duty. NSA had no specific comments regarding the accuracy of the report, but expressed its general objection to public disclosure of the operation on the grounds that the report was based on classified information. www.icdc.com /~paulwolf/cointelpro/churchfinalreportIIIj.htm   (18675 words)

CNN.com - Gonzales defends NSA, rejects call for prosecutor - Jan 17, 2006 (CNN)-- Attorney General Alberto Gonzales once again Monday defended the legality of a controversial surveillance program by the National Security Agency, calling it a "very targeted and limited" operation that has helped thwart terrorist attacks in the United States. But critics of the program have questioned that legal rationale, pointing to a law passed by Congress in the 1970s requiring executive branch agencies to get approval for domestic surveillance requests from a special court set up for that purpose, whose proceedings are secret to protect national security. In response, Gonzales said the Clinton administration publicly took the position that a president has the authority to authorize even physical searches without a warrant, if national security was at stake. www.cnn.com /2006/POLITICS/01/17/gonzales.nsa   (556 words)

National Security Agency MetaFilter Some of you may recall the fuss raised about some spy agency named Echelon and wonder how this group is or is not connected to NSA. Oddly, as large as this organization is, it has been very much in the background, and only recently when some whistleblowers spoke up, has this agency gained a good deal of public attention. My personal belief is that NSA is not gathering information to do extra-judiciary actions, but rather to siphon information in order to focus FBI and other organization investigations that then proceed to follow the appropriate legal process. www.metafilter.com /mefi/48043   (820 words)

FORT MEADE, Maryland (IDG) -- Back in the days of the cold war, Washington insiders used to joke that NSA stood for "No Such Agency." The government denied the very existence of this group, which is dedicated to intercepting and decoding foreign communications.
