Google to join forces with NSA
Spokane, Washington

Google describes this new service, yet to be named, as an exciting opportunity to move into a new market and at the same time offer it’s vast resources to the government in an opportunity to enhance national security.
In return for making their servers available to the NSA, Google is looking for tax considerations from the Bush Administration
In a published statement, Google spokesman William Jefferson said that “Since our search engines are already being used by the majority of Americans to search for everything else, we felt that his was a natural extension of our business model”.
In developing this product, Google recognizes that many American citizens might view this as yet another intrusion of their privacy. But Google spokesman Jefferson stated that “We already have almost all information about you on-line already and that the NSA has all of your phone numbers, social security numbers and any other private information that we do not have, so the marriage of these two sources of information into one massive database was just a matter of time.”
The Deputy Director of the NSA, William Black, declined to be interviewed for this story for security reasons, but his office did issue a statement, that all of their new initiatives are legal and within established Bush administration guidelines for intelligence gathering.
