"Consolidated Cryptologic Program has 35,000 employees working to defeat enemy crypto." Yeah, "enemies" such as Miranda.

  Yes, what is meant by enemies? Is it Iran and North Korea, or are China and Russia actually considered enemies within the NSA? I ask because there's a lot of chatter today about having hacked Chinese telecom for the last 15 years. Are enemies just all foreign persons? I wish I knew who our enemies are, maybe the public wont agree with whatever the NSA thinks.

    Our enemies are "the terrorists". Fortunately for those in power, that term has a malleability that would make silly putty jealous.

    In light of recent revelations, "all foreign persons" seems unreasonably optimistic. To the NSA, every living human is either a known enemy or a potential enemy, and either way must be watched closely.
