Clarification of the events leading up to the NSA/Linguistek post and comments about a "front company".

I would like to step forward and clarify that I, LiberalCCW never said that the Washington firm "Linguistek" is a front company for the NSA. It was my father who posted the comment stating that Linguistek was a front company for the NSA. I merely stated that I found the facts "interesting".

If the NSA were to have a front company, one would think that the boys in black would not be boneheaded enough to use the front company's network to host an NSA web server. One would also hope that even if the company was not a front, if the NSA used them as consultants, they would be more discreet than that.

Actually my father made a good point during a phone call. (Hint to NSA, go through the logs, it was Jan 30th at around 9:15 PM EST, I also tell several good jokes, so be sure to listen to the whole thing). His point was that even having a public web page at all is about the stupidest thing that the NSA could do.

Being a red-blooded American Citizen, I have little to fear repercussion-wise for exposing a potential NSA front. I did have some good Muslim friends in college, the devout praying sort who really don't like Israel. Actually one of them was Afghani, he wore a robe and sandals and carried a prayer mat with him. The other was Palestinian. I visited his house once, but left before the Muslim extremist meeting got into full swing. Honest!

If you listen to my other phone calls you will find that I tend to make lots of jokes about flatulence, the explosive kind. These are not coded messages, I tend to be gassy. I do talk about firearms frequently, those are not coded messages either. I own guns. I, however am not the Molon Labe sort of gun owner, as I figure if I pull a David Koresh and say "Come and get them!" about my guns, the Feds will come and get them with aid of a squadron of A-10 Thunderbolts, or a Tank, like they did to poor Dave
