The NSA faces a loss of expertise when baby boomers retire. The Knowledge Transfer Program used social network analysis tools to identify staffers from data-flow manager roles who are key assets in the in-house network, whose knowledge must be retained. This was an instance of "turning a methodology usually used to ... tear down our target networks, such as al Qaeda ... upon NSA itself."

Document Date:

The NSA targets a “little-known, Europe-based group” known as the Anti-Imperialist Camp, whose “inflammatory anti-U.S. rhetoric” was allegedly paired with aid to militant groups like Hezbollah and FARC. Surveillance of this group “has paid numerous dividends” and resulted in demand by the U.S. government that the Italian government arrest three activists in 2004. Six years later, the activists were cleared of all charges.
