Read Mr. Bamford and you'll get an idea of some of the actual work NSA does. You'll also get a heavy dose of his opinions. I trust people to form their own.

I won't tell you what NSA does or what MI does. You could find a whole lot out online, though. If you had a starting point. Bamford can give you one.
