Experiences of a SIGINT’er in Baghdad

SUMMARY

A Data Acquisition lead reflects on his tour of duty in Iraq, which he describes as "an all-out effort to penetrate Iraqi networks using everything in the tool box of the most sophisticated SIGINT agency in the world." The workdays were long and entailed collaborations with all levels of U.S. military personnel, Iraqi government officials, and CEOs of Iraqi telecom companies. He appreciated the NSA's "daring" role in pursing Iraqi SIGINT targets.
