Last month I talked about McClatchy Newspapers opening an investigation into the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), which is another of our major spy agencies. It has a budget of $15 billion and a lot of power, perhaps as much as the CIA and NSA.
The next edition of the investigation concerns allegations of criminal behavior regarding contracting and attempts by the agency to cover things up. As befits a spy agency, the situation is cloudy, but it does appear that there is considerable effort to pretend everything is wonderful.
