>His credit says he "is completing a second book about
>the N.S.A." That note may be his signal that the book is
>near publication.
>
>Rumor is that he's got a lot of new stuff to report gathered
>over twenty years since the bountiful 70s intelligence hearings. 
>A hint is in the concluding sentence of the review: "Think twice 
>about a cover-up: a budding author may be standing 
>under the cloak next to you."

>Did HPSCI Chairman Goss get what he wanted from NSA?
>His advocacy of accessible crypto in the SAFE markup seems
>to say he and NSA managed to keep the fix intact. Bamford
>could be ready to unfix that with help from embittered ex-NSAs
>and -DoJs who're disgusted with the post-Church cover-up.
