As Eli mentioned in The Morning News, this is getting spooky:

Google is teaming up with the National Security Agency to investigate the recent hack attack against its network in a bid to prevent another assault, according to The Washington Post.

The internet search giant is working on an agreement with the controversial agency to determine the attacker’s methods and what Google can do to shore up its network.

Sources assured the Post that the deal does not mean the NSA will have access to users’ searches or e-mail communications and accounts. Nor will Google share proprietary data with the agency.

The Electronic Privacy Information Center called bullshit, filing a Freedom of Information Act request seeking details of the arrangement as well as communications between NSA and Google regarding Google's failure to protect Gmail and cloud computing. Get ready for this to totally overshadow the China hack and Google's subsequent bluff.
