N.S.A. has a website for children featuring a cartoon turtle wearing a backwards hat and purple sunglasses. The turtle touts the benefits of knowing what your enemies (and presumably Angela Merkel and every American who makes a phone call) are up to.
According to an article by Michael S. Schmidt (New York Times, Jan. 29, p. A10), N.S.A. has quite a few cartoon characters, including CryptoCat and Decipher Dog. This is the kind of material I would expect to read in The Onion, but it is for real.
Our tax dollars at work.
