The Secret Room: EFF Designer's Cartoon on Illegal Spying
Commentary by Hugh D'Andrade - August 22nd, 2008 - http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2008/08/secret-room-eff-designers-cartoon-illegal-spying


I was asked recently to create a mural-sized political cartoon (and to paint it live!) at a show of experimental drawings and cartoons at the Mission Cultural Center in San Francisco. I chose as my subject the NSA's "secret room" at AT&T's Folsom Street facility. As part of the Bush administration's massive and illegal spying program, the communications of millions of ordinary Americans are illegally intercepted and copied via fiber-optic splitter, and diverted into this secret room, which is controlled by the NSA.

What exactly goes on inside that room? Here's a time-lapse video of my fanciful answer to that question:

4. Brilliant

It may only scratch the very surface of this issue, but the part it does scratch is dead-on.

5. Did the FBI phone call wiretap implicating Darth via Stevens, was it

routed out of the country? I'd think they'd be listening in on phone calls that could lead to a messy affair. This is so troublesome. Or could it be the FBI used Darth's wiretapping laws against him? Worrisome x's a zillion.
