Here is an interesting article that appeared in the New York Times last week. [http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/05/science/05google.html?hp]  Google has chosen to partner with the N.S.A. (rather than the DoHS) to investigate recent attacks that "breached the company's cybersecurity defenses."
A good NYT article on the gender disparities of Wikipedia. Relevant to February 15th's class:

Is this "cooperative research and development agreement" between Google and the N.S.A. really going to "impact the privacy of millions of users of Google's products and services around the world" as Marc Rotenberg of the Electronic Privacy Information Center suggests?
 
I think not. If the technical assistance provided by the N.S.A. focuses on technology, and not content, the relationship should not impact the privacy of Google users. My concern would be, how much does Google know about the attacks they are not sharing. What "goods and services" were compromised? What information was actually accessed?
