[ link to www.theverge.com] During a new interview with Yahoo News, Carly Fiorina acknowledged providing truckloads of HP servers to the NSA in 2001 at the request of then-director Michael Hayden. I felt it was my duty to help, and so we did," Fiorina said, according to Yahoo News. "They were ramping up a whole set of programs and needed a lot of data crunching capability to try and monitor a whole set of threats ... What I knew at the time was our nation had been attacked." Fiorina was CEO of HP at the time, and Hayden recalled telling her, "Carly, I need stuff and I need it now," in the weeks after the September 11th attacks. That "stuff" was a massive amount of servers, which were apparently rerouted from Tennessee to the NSA's Fort Meade, Maryland headquarters. The servers went toward building the controversial NSA warrantless surveillance program "Stellar Wind." (The relationship between Fiorina and the agency has been reported on before.)
