A recent response by the National Security Agency to a FOIA
request revealed that two of the most powerful intelligence agencies in the
United States are monitoring the Bradley Manning Support Network.
The extent of the monitoring is unknown but in a letter
received today, the NSA revealed that it is tracking, at the very least, media
reports on the Bradley Manning Support Network. In the same letter, the NSA
said that it had received the document from the Defense Intelligence Agency,
which had sent the record back to the NSA in response to a FOIA request
submitted to the DIA for their records relating to the Bradley Manning Support
Network.
Again, it is too early to draw conclusions on the extent of
the monitoring. The NSA and DIA may simply be monitoring media reports to
better prepare for protests, which are occurring at Fort Meade, home of the NSA’s
headquarters.
