Anyone check this documentary out? It's about NSA's abandonment of the Thinthread program just before 9/11. The people who developed Thinthread claim it would have prevented 9/11. They also claim the Thinthread program was abandoned due to the NSA outsourcing of a huge program with connections to higher ups in the NSA.

It seems likes it does a good job of presenting the evidence and if remotely true, it pisses me off.

I will watch this, although I am probably already familiar with the story.

William Binney has been screaming about thinthread since he retired from the NSA. He was one of the main developers.

This program is why William Binney, Thomas drake, and J. Kirk Weebe, became whistleblowers, and why Thomas drake was charged under the espionage act.

Yeah, I know. There was a Frontline related to it, but I forgot the whole story and this was done well.
