NSA Chief Thinks He's Captain Picard
Glenn Greenwald reports on the "Information Dominance Center."
"When he was running the Army's Intelligence and Security Command, Alexander brought many of his future allies down to Fort Belvoir for a tour of his base of operations, a facility known as the Information Dominance Center. It had been designed by a Hollywood set designer to mimic the bridge of the starship Enterprise from Star Trek, complete with chrome panels, computer stations, a huge TV monitor on the forward wall, and doors that made a 'whoosh' sound when they slid open and closed. Lawmakers and other important officials took turns sitting in a leather 'captain's chair' in the center of the room and watched as Alexander, a lover of science-fiction movies, showed off his data tools on the big screen.
"'Everybody wanted to sit in the chair at least once to pretend he was Jean-Luc Picard,' says a retired officer in charge of VIP visits."

Krauthammer Gets His Wookie Suit On
Charles Krauthammer discusses the use of unmanned drones to spy on US citizens.
"A drone is a high-tech version of an old army and a musket. It ought to be used in Somalia to hunt bad guys but not in America. I don't want to see it hovering over anybody's home. Yes, you can say we have satellites, we've got Google Street View and London has a camera on every street corner but that's not an excuse to cave in on everything else and accept a society where you're always under -- being watched by the government. This is not what we want," Krauthammer said on the panel portion of FOX News' "Special Report."
"I would say that you ban it under all circumstances and I would predict, I'm not encouraging, but I an predicting that the first guy who uses a Second Amendment weapon to bring a drone down that's been hovering over his house is going to be a folk hero in this country," Krauthammer said tonight.

The Names Change...
...the tactics don't.
"MI5 officer says MP Mike Hancock was 'honeytrap' victim of Russian spy, as politician steps down from Defence post."
They don't call the Russian spy service the KGB any more - - I think it's the FSB now - - but the honeytrap, one of the oldest espionage techniques in the history of the world is just as effective as it has always been.

UK's MI5: Hunting For A New "Q"
Did you grow up obsessed with James Bond gadgets and always wanted to emulate "Q," AKA Major Boothroyd, who furnished 007 with his exotic gear?
Well, MI5, the UK equivalent of the FBI, probably doesn't want to talk to you.
They do, however, need a chief scientific advisor.
Why Are You Always Playing With It, 007?
