It's CNN, but bear with me...
FBI opens high-tech crisis center
In part...The computers at desks throughout the center and the 5-by-15-foot video screens on the walls of almost all of the 35 rooms can display not only U.S. television broadcasts but also TV channels from other countries.
Yet we're told that these computers don't have Internet access. Riiiight!
Snip...The FBI's new National Infrastructure Protection Center, tasked to prevent and respond to attacks on government or private computer systems that keep America running, will have three representatives on each of the 10-member watch teams that staff the center at all times.
Isn't that the Internet? How can that be done when, "An agency that must track terrorists who rely heavily on technology lacks computers that can quickly access the Internet.?

Also present around the clock: a representative of the National Security Agency's Cryptologic Security Group to provide information from the government's worldwide electronic eavesdropping.
Isn't that special Mr. and Mrs. America. 24/7 coverage!

Each work station can receive data from three sets of phone and computer links, with the information divided into three categories: unclassified, secret and top-secret.
WOW!

A-E-I-O-U...A-E-I-O-U
And the sheep went Baaaa and the cows went Moooo...
I'm done!
