Google-NSA Partnership Draws Ire of Privacy Groups
--------------------------------------------------



The internet giant Google is teaming up with the National Security
Agency in an unspecified partnership in the name of cybersecurity.
Google says the NSA will help it analyze an attack on its computer
networks it says originated in China last month. Privacy advocates have
raised skepticism about the agreement, whose details haven’t been
revealed. The Electronic Privacy Information Center has filed a Freedom
of Information Act request for communications between Google and the NSA
on cybersecurity and email encryption.
