What does rel fvey mean

Quite a number of reports had serious misinterpretations or were even misleading, which caused that millions of people around the world now have completely unrealistic ideas about what NSA does and is capable of. I saw it as my task to carefully look at the original documents and try to interpret them in an unbiased way, also providing the necessary context that was most often neglected in the news reports.

A smallish campaign with a homemade list would not be likely to yield much of a result. To achieve anything worthwhile, a much more aggressive effort is needed. Another one for you. Only marked on one page. Its regarding Pinegap to be more specific.

Say it again, I don't think they heard you. Remember what curiosity did to the cat. Still, being aware of what's being put out into the ether, true or false, definitely has value. Well noticed!

Way back when — at least since middle of the s — the intelligence community used the UMBRA code word to inform the reader of a certain report that the original source for the intelligence was of the most sensitive category.

At the NSA, back then, there were three levels of source sensitivity. Let's say that the NSA tapped into the communications hub of a country using an access point at Company A's Bermuda facility. Suppose that particular access picked up the president of that country discussing plans to help Iran circumvent treaties. In the reports themselves, the NSA might refer to "clandestine sources" or "special intelligence" — without naming the exact source and certainly not the mechanism by which the source was intercepted.
