If the NSA does the sniffing..

And the Secret Service handles the protecting..

What does the CIA have to do with this? If this is a public and verified
fact, then it seems mail to whitehouse.gov is actually analyzed by the CIA
at their request. Kind of odd since the Secret Service originally headed
up the computer crime investigations in the early 90's. Seems they would
have a staff member or two that could and would handle all computer
related events, be at the White House or not.
