Carly Fiorina: I Supplied HP Servers For NSA Snooping

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday September 29, 2015 @10:04AM from the hp-way dept.

MFingS writes: According to an article at Motherboard, shortly after 9/11, NSA director Michael Hayden requested extra computing power and Carly Fiorina, then CEO of HP, responded by re-routing truckloads of servers to the agency. Fiorina acknowledged providing the servers to the NSA during an interview with Michael Isikoff in which she defended warrantless surveillance (as well as waterboarding) and framed her collaboration with the NSA in patriotic terms. Fiorina's compliance with Hayden's request for HP servers is but one episode in a long-running and close relationship between the GOP presidential hopeful and U.S. intelligence agencies.

  Tabulating machines were not computers. Nor were comptometers. There were analog computers before digital ones, but IBM didn't make them.
