Bush orders NSA to snoop on US agencies

Not content with spying on other countries, the NSA (National Security Agency) will now turn on the US's own government agencies thanks to a fresh directive from president George Bush.

Under the new guidelines, the NSA and other intelligence agencies can bore into the internet networks of all their peers. The Bush administration pulled off this spy expansion by pointing to an increase in the number of cyber attacks directed against the US, possibly from foreign nations. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) will spearhead the effort around identifying the source of these attacks, while the Department of Homeland Security and Pentagon will concentrate on retaliation.

Are you talking about the comment above? If so, how were you able to edit it after you posted it?

I had a design in the comment box which wasn't suppose to be submitted.

I was just playing around with code generators - usually I use the preview window to practice/experiment. But sometimes I use the comment boxes, too.

I have no authority to edit anything in the comment boxes or delete them. I am not an administrator.

And I certainly don't wish to be.

I know you're not an administrator (especially since you'd just asked an administrator to delete a comment for you) - I just thought there might be some comment-editing trick I wasn't aware of. Basically, I just didn't know what the hell was going on.

Cheers.
