4.9/5 (33691 ratings)

Description:NSA's Transformation: An Executive Branch Black Eye represents an investigative report of NSA’s transformation program launched in 1999 and running through 2005 under the leadership of General Michael V. Hayden, USAF. Numerous related events occurring before the transformation program commenced and precipitating from it are also addressed in the report covering the period of 1996 through 2013. NSA's Transformation: An Executive Branch Black Eye serves as an historical narrative of this critical period for our Nation’s Intelligence Community as well as its Law Enforcement Community, both of which had erred in ways that failed to evoke public comment from responsible government officials. The period covers related Executive Branch foibles occurring under the watches of Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barrack Obama. The report reveals piecemeal evidence of the existence of a plausible plan involving both government officials and private sector executives to privatize many essential intelligence production support functions without regard to cost, performance, or functionality and is an example of corporate welfare where no accountability has yet to occur. The manuscript is a personal memoir of experiences and theories on events associated with Jane Mayer's "George Polk Award for Magazine Reporting" article entitled "The Secret Sharer." Mr. Loomis was the architect of a system central to The Secret Sharer case, a topic prominently aired on two occasions on CBS 60 Minutes. He was a party along with Bill Binney, Kirk Wiebe, and Diane Roark to a formal complaint filed in 2002 with the Department of Defense Inspector General citing apparent fraud and waste associated with the transformation program's centerpiece, TRAILBLAZER. For having done so, in what had all appearances of classic government retribution, each was raided by large contingents of FBI agents in 2007, under the guise of being “persons of interest” in leaking highly classified information regarding the President's Surveillance Program involving the domestic surveillance of U.S. Citizens. As a NSA inside contributor to the Inspector General's investigation, Tom Drake underwent far more serious retaliation for his role in whistleblowing resulting in ten felony charges filed against him. The Government's case against Tom Drake is also addressed in detail. Mr. Loomis is a retired Cryptologic Computer Scientist having worked his entire career at NSA for 37 years as a civil servant and an additional five years as a systems architect, private contractor. He appeared in the PBS Frontline documentary, United States of Secrets, Part 1 discussing his program, THINTHREAD, which may have been successful in avoiding the 9-11 terrorist attack, had NSA permitted it to be deployed operationally. NSA's Transformation: An Executive Branch Black Eye was thoroughly reviewed by NSA, FBI, Department of Defense, Department of Justice, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and approval for publication was officially granted on March 7, 2014.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
