"Scope. This specification covers the tailoring and assembly of standard woodland and desert camouflage screesns [sic], and the fabrication of custom support and transport systems to provide camouflage kits for each of the vehicular components of the ground launched cruise missile (GLCM) system. "
--GLCM Camouflage Spec (1985) (canceled without replacement, 23 December 1996)

"It sounds like a joke -- a U.S. intelligence agency relying on software that can be downloaded for free on the internet to turn complicated data from spy satellites into detailed maps.

But a remarkable collaboration between the government, private industry and academia may lead to just that: downloadable satellite-image processing software called OSSIM, or Open Source Software Image Map."
-- Dan Sorid NIMA OSSIM Open Source Satellite Image Processing January 29, 2001

I want to thank the Independent Commission for its comprehensive review of the National Imagery and Mapping Agency. The distinguished members of the Commission dedicated several months of diligent effort to this important study. I appreciate and will carefully consider their suggestions. This unclassified report about the newest Intelligence Community agency is a welcome addition to the dialogue that must exist between government and the people it serves.

Cartome, a companion site to Cryptome, is an archive of news and spatial / geographic documents on privacy, cryptography, dual-use technologies, national security and intelligence -- communicated by imagery systems: cartography, photography, photogrammetry, steganography, camouflage, maps, images, drawings, charts, diagrams, IMINT and their reverse-panopticon and counter-deception potential. Cartome will employ technologies to minimize image file size, and these rapidly developing technologies themselves will be covered.

"This country's network of national parks and national prisons are coextensive formations in the production of "nation-space", with its constituent myths of national origin, national identity, national continuity. As new political technologies are expanding the coercive apparatus of carceral society, institutional leisure space offers relief and diversion, promising rewards through privileged access to liberatory natural knowledge..."
