GEORGETOWN SCARE: NSA INTERCEPTS INFO THAT ALBRIGHT HOUSE MAY BE TARGET In the past 48 hours, the NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY in Ft. Meade, Maryland has intercepted information coming out of Yugoslavia -- information involving an apparent plot to target the Georgetown home of Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. "The NSA intercepted a discussion of a street address in Georgetown," one well-placed source told the DRUDGE REPORT late Friday from Washington. "When it became clear that it was Albright's house, the agency immediately passed on the information." Albright's house is located in an elite residential section of Georgetown and neighbors have not been officially advised of the development. But word was spreading throughout the neighborhood on Friday. "Why are we not being told about what is going on?" one neighbor questioned. "This is something we should know about! We are walking on eggshells." The WASHINGTON POST is holding details of exactly what was intercepted by the NSA, according to publishing sources. It is not known if the paper is planning to report the development. One resident in Georgetown, that spoke to the DRUDGE REPORT on condition of anonymity, is angry that Albright has not moved to a more secure location during the NATO bombing campaign of Yugoslavia. "She should not be this exposed, living in that house during all of this," said the source, who lives doors down from Albright. "She should be in Blair House or any place that isn't this residential... where others may be exposed." The State Department refused to comment on the neighbor's concerns. A heavy, albeit routine security presence surrounded Albright's house on Friday evening. The neighborhood is home to Washington media celebrities such as NEW YORK TIMES columnist Maureen Dowd and writer David Brock.
