So then we get Condi? I could probably live with that.

Well, no, first would be the Speaker of the House, then the President pro tempore of the Senate, and then Condi.

Check this out for a related anecdote.

Going back a large number of posts in this thread, I have a hard time believing a former spy(Mr. Frost) would go into such depths on what would be highly classified information on a national news program and not be in Fort Levenworth. He would have to get a lot of clearances from the many organizations to be able to appear and disclose such things, and they would only be disclosed by the approval of the organizations. I can't imagine they would approve of him disclosing those things. Once you are no longer a spy, your responsibility for safeguarding classified information does not stop. Sounds a lot like a smokescreen and scare tactics to me.

I'm not sure I follow you here. While I understand what you are saying regarding classified information, this was a story from back in 2000, prior to Bush becoming President.

So what was the smokescreen for? Who was the target of the scare tactics?

The NSA is a large unknown place, and thus scary. My take on the scare tactics is, fear is very good for ratings.... that is in my opinion the target of the scare.
