Saw it last week on the DrudgeReport (a very reliable source, I know):-)
Someone from within revealed what it was to some newspaper--can't remember which one though. I was kind of surprised the story didn't make it here.
It's a little off-topic, but I thinks it's interesting. The US's Open Source Information System collects huge database of free/public information (includes NIMA and other stuff):

Side note: the NSA appears to use osis.gov as a domain for surfing purposes.
I guess using free/public software is the next step.
I understand what they *think* they are doing, but...
I wonder how much of that decline in audience is due to the lack of the Cold War era good vs. evil drama. I know I find most of the events terminally boring now--it's not like most Olympic athletes are rock stars anyway--you watch for the national competition. And without the "Free" world vs. the Blocs it's just plain dull.
I'm not sure I understand their reasoning. Seems like most other sporting organizations realize that web sites generate more interest in events rather than undermine the audience for those events.

heroic spent ribbons winter dance of death out of ink or song? It's not haiku, but I felt like doing it anyway
