This is text from the Camp Williams artcile that was deleted (I have restored) but has several older refs re the 'Utah Data Centre', which was apparently previously called Community Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative Data Center .

Data Center

The National Security Agency (NSA) is building the $1.5 billion Community Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative Data Center at Camp Williams, the first in a series of data centers required for the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative.^[1]^[2]^[3] The 1.5 million square foot facility built on 200 acres is expected to store 1 yottabyte of data by 2015.^[4]^[5]^[6] The facility which is expected to be completed in October 2013 will use 65 megawatts and will cost another $2 billion for hardware, software, and maintenance.^[4]

Good data. Added.

Done--Tomwsulcer (talk) 21:13, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

About the addition

About this added paragraph:--Tomwsulcer (talk) 18:35, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On August 22, 2012 The New York Times published an Op-doc in a forum of short documentaries produced by independent filmmakers that was produced by Laura Poitras and entitled, The Program.[9] It is a preliminary work that will be part of a documentary planned for release in 2013. The documentary is based on interviews with William Binney, a 32-year veteran of the United States National Security Agency, who became a whistleblower and described the details of the Stellar Wind project that he helped to design. The program he worked on had been designed for foreign espionage, but in 2001 was converted to spying on citizens in the United States, prompting disclosures by him and others concerned that the actions were illegal and unconstitutional. The subject implies that the facility being built at Bluffdale is a facility that is part of that domestic surveillance, intended for storage of massive amounts of data collected from a broad range of communications that may be mined readily for intelligence without warrants.[10] The author reports that on October 29, 2012 the United States Supreme Court will hear arguments regarding the constitutionality of the amendments to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that were used to authorize the creation of such facilities and justify such actions.

My concerns are regarding WP:OR and WP:UNDUE. Can the new paragraph addition be shortened to only those aspects that explicitly refer to the Utah Data Center?--Tomwsulcer (talk) 21:00, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
