Now Bamford discloses inside, often shocking information about the transformation of the NSA in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of 2001. <br><br>In THE SHADOW FACTORY, Bamford shows how the NSA&#8217;s failure to detect the presence of two of the 9/11 hijackers inside the United States led the NSA to abandon its long-held policy of spying only on enemies outside the country. Instead, after 9/11 it turned its almost limitless ability to listen in on friend and foe alike over to the Bush Administration to use as a weapon in the war on terror. With unrivaled access to sources and documents, Bamford details how the agency has conducted domestic surveillance without court approval, and he frames it in the context of the NSA&#8217;s ongoing hunt for information about today&#8217;s elusive enemies. <br><br>THE SHADOW FACTORY is a riveting read for anyone concerned about civil liberties and America&#8217;s security in the post-9/11 world.</p> 2725095 14 10 2008 The Shadow Factory: The Ultra-Secret NSA from 9/11 to the Eavesdropping on America total:94|5:14|4:40|3:34|2:5|1:1| 94 343 267 26 5 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 26 12:19:43 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 26 12:29:44 -0700 2009
