Bamford is able to link disparate facts and paint a picture of utter, compounded failurefailure to find the NSAs terrorist targets and failure to protect American citizens communications from becoming tangled in a dragnet.The San Francisco ChronicleThe bad news in Bamfords 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. . . .
