Former House oversight staffer hopes to see more "above top secret" releases
Between 1997 and 2001, Diane Roark worked on a legislative staff responsible for oversight of the NSA, and in 2002 turned whistleblower through accepted channels. Roark and her sources (William Binney, Ed Loomis, Kirk Wiebe and Tom Drake) suffer unending retaliation as the result of their efforts. “They want to keep making my life as miserable as they can,” she says. “I think it’s a form of punishment. They wanted to get me. They wanted to get me really badly.” http://www.wweek.com/portland/article-19632-who%E2%80%99s_listening_to_diane_roark.html
This is what we have of a one hour presentation by Diane Roark for the Portland Executive Club meeting June 4, 2014. attached in 2 parts, along with the decision from her court battle for property taken by the FBI when she was raided in 2007.
Near the end of her presentation, Roark says she was hoping that Snowden has seen "Exceptional Classified Information" about the surveillance program which was designed to keep tabs on all government officials, especially those who could decide on policy that affects the NSA. The latest releases at The Intercept have just begun to describe this material.

I've also seen the term "compartmentalized" used in place of ECI.
Thinthread was replaced by the Trailblazer program at higher cost, in dollars and individual liberty, but those complaints were rejected offhand by the NSA director Michael Hayden and his management staff, with an argument that is redacted:
"REDACTED unrestrained by past practices or past technologies."
TRAILBLAZER 1 had the following key responsibilities
• Ensure the execution of a new NSA program transfonning
the u.s. Cryptologic System exploitation ofthe global network. Map
detailed digital network exploitation mission requirements to a
cryptologic architecture and implement them; and
• Act as the catalyst for transforming customer interaction
and operational practices. Begin the retooling of NSA
programmatically, technologically, and culturally to provide mission
services and capabilities that are responsive to the emerging
technology and customer needs. ." (more redactions) attached in full
