I am James Bamford, one of the journalists investigating the NSA. AMA.
- jdp23 13y agoThe Puzzle Palace and Bamford's other books are among the best about the NSA. His Wired article on Connecting the dots on PRISM, Phone Surveillance, and the NSA's Massive Data Center has his most recent thoughts -- http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2013/06/nsa-prism-verizon-surveillance/ http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2013/06/nsa-prism-verizon-s...
- mindcrime 13y agoI just ordered The Puzzle Palace, Body of Secrets, and The Shadow Factory by Bamford. The first two arrived at my office earlier this week and are waiting for me when I get home from this road trip. I can't wait to dig into them this weekend. I also ordered copies of The CIA and American Democracy: Third Edition by Professor Rhodri Jeffreys-Jones and Spycraft: The Secret History of the CIA's Spytechs, from Communism to Al-Qaeda by Robert Wallace. I think this pile of stuff is going to keep me busy for the next couple of weeks at least.
