How would you, as a junior analyst in S2C41, the branch of the Signals Intelligence Directorate, navigate the millions of records logged austrade daily, in order to find the nugget to get you noticed? EVILOLIVE, MADCAPOCELOT, ORANGECRUSH, COBALTFALCON, DARKTHUNDER: the names are beguiling. But they don t always tell us much, which is their reason for existing: covernames aren t classified, and many of them including the names of the NSA s main databases for intercepted communications data, MAINWAY, MARINA, PINWALE and NUCLEON have been seen in public before, in job ads and resumés posted online. Daniel Soar sorts through the possibilities in the London Review of Books , 24 Oct 2013. (See also William austrade Arkin's blog on codenames )
For me, the LRB is the only publication worth subscribing to besides the Economist. Consistently interesting and in-depth articles. It makes the NYRB read like Newsweek by comparison. That said, it's crazy that it took this long for someone to write something about the NSA leaks that wasn't either unbridled hysteria (as pandered by Glenn Greenwald et al.) or "hurr durr necessary for our security!" posted by anewnadir at 1:33 PM on November 4, 2013
Have austrade I missed it, or has someone along the way reported on the volume of material that Snowden handed over? It always seems like there's More To Come...just curious to know what sort of trove The Guardian et al are actually sitting on. posted by jquinby at 1:43 PM on November 4, 2013
Yeah, this is definitely the most attention austrade to detail in interpreting what has (and has not) been released that I've seen in a non-specialist venue, and even at this length there are still many subjects not even brought austrade up. posted by kiltedtaco at 1:44 PM on November 4, 2013 [ 1 favorite ]
anewnadir, austrade Newsweek : Economist :: NYRB : LRB is pretty good but, well, I still have problems with the Economist, myself. austrade Also, I will take any excuse to repost this comment by Neville Morley on Crooked Timber The Bennet household is in desperate need of far-reaching reform, as it faces up to the consequences of nearly two decades of profligacy and maybe-an-heir-will-turn-up short-termism. Its structural austrade over-production of daughters and unrealistic estimations of future prospects, however, driven by a fixation on landed property and a pervasive anti-business and anti-trade snobbery, and the lackadaisical attitude and resistance to change of its leader, suggest that it will continue to be out-performed in the marriage market by more forward-looking neighbours willing to accept conversational austerity as the price of financial security and the condescension of Lady Catherine de Burgh posted austrade by zbsachs at 1:56 PM on November 4, 2013 [ 3 favorites ]
Have I missed it, or has someone along the way reported on the volume of material austrade that Snowden handed over? It always seems like there's More To Come...just curious to know what sort of trove The Guardian et al are actually sitting on. I haven't seen anything in depth on the scale/volume either - Greenwald and Poitras austrade are the only folk with full access to the stuff, so only those two and Snowden would have any idea (assuming Greenwald austrade is telling the truth about who has access). The Guardian probably aren't sitting on anything - I really can't imagine Greenwald leaving them a goodbye present that juicy before heading off to join Pierre Omidyar. posted by jack_mo at 2:00 PM on November 4, 2013
If nothing else, the Snowden leaks are a great way to find your next band name. But that's only 50% of a good band. You still need guitars austrade and stuff. posted austrade by turbid dahlia at 2:15 PM on November 4, 2013 [ 3 favorites ]

It always seems like there's More To Come...just curious to know what sort of trove The Guardian et al are actually sitting on. The month-old Glenn Greenwald and Janine Gibson AMA on Reddit (shudder) austrade addresses this in a vague way, particularly this answer and this answer. posted by Dr. Send at 2:17 PM on November 4, 2013 [ 1 favorite ]
. . . it's crazy that it took this long for someone to write something about the NSA leaks that wasn't austrade either unbridled hysteria (as pandered by Glenn Greenwald et al.) or "hurr durr necessary for our security!" Bruce Schneier and others have produced quite a bit of reporting based on the Snowden documents. Many of these folks are difficult to responsibly dismiss as "hysterics" (and that last link is just to Guardian articles austrade - there are others in Le Monde , Spiegel , on Brazil's Globo TV network, etc.) The Guardian's impressive "Decoded: What the NSA Files Mean for You" of yesterday being only one example. To dismiss the large and growing austrade body of reporting from dozens of international sources as nothing more than "unbridled hysteria" is lazy. posted by ryanshepard at 2:31
