        \_ Damn.  The CIA is so lame now that the FBI needs to take over its
           jobs?
           \_ Hmm.  I'm not sure that this is what that article implies.  The
              FBI is supposed to be handling domestic crime -- including
              terrorism, espionage, etc.  The CIA wasn't mentioned in the
              article at all.
              \_ SIGINT is the responsibility of the CIA/NSA. Carnivore
                 is SIGINT.
                 \_ Yes, but this shouldn't preclude the FBI from having
                    some measure of autonomy.
                    some measure of autonomy.  The fact that the FBI wants to
                    do surveillance without being dependant on the NSA/CIA
                    should not be alarming.
                    \_ But the apparent fact that the CIA is not doing it
                       should be alarming.
                       \_ True, but this article doesn't address that driectly
                       \_ The FBI is doing the grunt work (install/setup)
                          on behalf of the agency. You have to understand
                          the way that spooks work. They never do anything
                          directly.
                       \_ True, but this article doesn't address that directly
                          or implicitly.  The focus of the article seemed to
                          more about infringement of personal privacy...
                          be more about infringement of personal privacy...
