Items related to The Shadow Factory: The NSA from 9/11 to the Eavesdropping...
James Bamford has been the preeminent expert on the National Security Agency since his reporting revealed the agency's existence in the 1980s. Now Bamford describes the transformation of the NSA since 9/11, as the agency increasingly turns its high-tech ears on the American public. The Shadow Factory reconstructs how the NSA missed a chance to thwart the 9/11 hijackers and details how this mistake has led to a heightening of domestic surveillance. In disturbing detail, Bamford describes exactly how every American's data is being mined and what is being done with it. Any reader who thinks America's liberties are being protected by Congress will be shocked and appalled at what is revealed here.

Review:
A Washington Post Notable Book "Important and disturbing. . . . This revealing and provocative book is necessary reading . . . Bamford goes where the 9/11 Commission did not fully go."
--Senator Bob Kerrey, The Washington Post Book World "Fascinating. . . . Bamford has distilled a troubling chapter in American history."
--Bloomberg News "At its core and at its best, Bamford's book is a schematic diagram tracing the obsessions and excesses of the Bush administration after 9/11. . . . There have been glimpses inside the NSA before, but until now no one has published a comprehensive and detailed report on the agency. . . . Bamford has emerged with everything except the combination to the director's safe."
--The New York Times Book Review
"Engaging. . . . Chilling. . . . Bamford is able to link disparate facts and paint a picture of utter, compounded failure--failure to find the NSA's terrorist targets and failure to protect American citizens' communications from becoming tangled in a dragnet."
--The San Francisco Chronicle
"The bad news in Bamford's fascinating new study of the NSA is that Big Brother really is watching. The worse news . . . is that Big Brother often listens in on the wrong people and sometimes fails to recognize critical information. . . . Bamford convincingly argues that the agency . . . broke the law and spied on Americans and nearly got away with it."
--The Baltimore Sun
