"But if you think that its a big secret that we intercept communications then your not thinking."

Who said I did? It is no revelation that NSA is involved in reading other people's mail or that they intercepted messages that constitutes a security breach. Instead, it is the time and day of the messages and the precise words, as translated.

This allows the enemy to determine who was being intercepted, while in conversation with who, by what method and by source -- humint or electronic.

There is no need whatsoever to make this information public. And it gives clear "aid & comfort" to the enemy's own intelligence services.

If you don't see this, you are blind to the realities of wartime security requirements.
