How is this news? I don't need a budget, or Snowden to tell me the obvious.


A budget was leaked in the 1990s that showed the NSA receiving more dollars and the CIA having a 3 billion dollar budget. I don't understand you guys saying this reversal was in any way obvious. Not only that but the leak indicates that the budgets are in flux now. It's also long been assumed that the NSA isn't running just some "big ass data center", but rather expensive cutting edge technology.


It's more news than what honey booboo ate yesterday or whatever is in your country's newspapers today.


Or what hannah montana did at an entertainment award show.


I understand you might be implying the relative size or budgets of the organizations may have been obvious. But, how are/were their actual budget's obvious?
