Gen Alexander said NSA had outsourced its IT. He's talking about Project GROUNDBREAKER, http://bit.ly/VfNV9R "Non-mission critical"? Ha!

@emptywheel Think he was speaking specifically of Groundbreaker, which was NOT portrayed as operational but just internal IT. Clearly not. -
@TimothyS Ah, I see your point. And then he said he wasn't willing to reverse that. -
@emptywheel Correct. This was program Hayden was talking about when I quoted him in Salon saying "NSA's IT is owned by the private sector."

@emptywheel It's always been presented as merely internal IT. If we go back, it was program where telcos first brought in & Qwest resisted. -
@TimothyS Did you see this post, btw? http://www.emptywheel.net/2013/06/08/why-is-us-government-intrusiveness-on-network-defense-less-than-on-prism/ … Any insight into Commerce's role. (Thinking too of Pritzker's family) -
@emptywheel ah, thanks. very well done. -
@TimothyS Was wondering if Commerce is (and was, w/Qwest) involved in carrot-and-stick process to coerce compliance. -
@emptywheel intriguing angle i've never explored.
