Hi,

More likely, NSA wants language experts to translate papers
on (e.g.) cryptography from open sources that are not otherwise
accessible to their experts whom, as you point out, are trained
in other fields, and not necessarily fluent in the requisite
languages.

Note that one attribute of the NSA is that they are charged
with knowing and monitoring *everything* in their field. If a paper
is published in Tamil about some odd mathematical theory, making
that paper available to their researchers is an imperative.

une bouteille de vin blanc, un verre, m élangea au vin d l'eau min érale et,
