When it was found that the journal had been ignored in its otherwise global surveillance efforts, the NSA bowed after facing legal action in Woodbury County Small Claims Court.
Now that the NSA has agreed to include the Pre-Intelligencer in its monitoring program, Bob Buttwinder, Senior Counsel to the journal, has withdrawn his writ of noli disturbare.
John Smith, NSA Senior Officer in Charge for Northwest Iowa, Southeast South Dakota, and Northeast Nebraska, announced the assignment of personnel this morning at a press conference.
"I'm happy to announce the selection of Susan Dunham to carry forth the vital monitoring of all communications at the Pre-Intelligencer. In addition to this task, Sue is responsible for many other efforts at the local branch of the NSA, and will only be able to focus on the Pre-Intelligencer on a part-time basis."Smith noted that Sue would be available to the Pre-Intelligencer every third Thursday of the month from 9:00 a.m. until 11:30 a.m.
Flain Douglas, P-I Cub Reporter, was the only attendee at the press conference. Afterwards, he expressed a heart-felt welcome to Ms. Dunham, and promised that she would be treated as part of the staff. Sue will be sharing a desk with Nate Frikendellen, the P-I's Roving Reporter.
