It says investigation to be led by Clapper. The same Clapper who lied under oath before congress.

fake????

I believe 99% of the hacking is simple employee theft where the clerk makes DVD copies of your data and sells it to her boyfriends thug friends.

If I was Putin that's how I'd do it. Give some bitch some cash for a DVD.

Speaking of "fake news," nothing infuriates me more than this repeated accusation -- not because it is technically untrue, but because it represents one of the most unethical actions by a sitting Congressman I've ever had the misfortune to witness and successfully disparaged someone who was the victim of sandbagging.

On March 12 of this year, Senator Ron Wyden asked James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, whether the National Security Agency gathers “any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans.”

“No, sir,” replied the director, visibly annoyed. “Not wittingly.”

Wyden is a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and had long known about the court-approved metadata program that has since become public knowledge. He knew Clapper’s answer was incorrect. But Wyden, like Clapper, was also under an oath not to divulge the story. In posing this question, he knew Clapper would have to breach his oath of secrecy, lie, prevaricate, or decline to reply except in executive session—a tactic that would implicitly have divulged the secret. The committee chairman, Senator Diane Feinstein, may have known what Wyden had in mind. In opening the hearing she reminded senators it would be followed by a closed session and said, “I’ll ask that members refrain from asking questions here that have classified answers.” Not dissuaded, Wyden sandbagged the director.

This was a vicious tactic, regardless of what you think of the later Snowden disclosures. Wyden learned nothing, the public learned nothing, and an honest and unusually forthright public servant has had his credibility trashed.

IMHO, a just and compassionate God would consign Wyden to sucking cocks in hell for eternity. Starting as soon as he finished asking the question.

Interesting.

I guess that explains why no one went after him for lying under oath because everyone in that hearing understood what was going on. I agree that is underhanded.

And yet you were more than happy to use it for your own agenda..

The full back story is even worse. As a member of the Senate Select Committee and a long-time opponent of the NSA program, Wyden had labored unsuccessfully from the inside (as was wholly appropriate to do) to kill the program. But since he was legally constrained by law from revealing the program himself, he manufactured the "damned if he did, damned if he didn't" trap for Clapper. It was the most blatant, cynical act of political sabotage committed by the sorest of sore losers who could not legally and ethically sway the hearts and minds of his legislative colleagues on the Committee.

But apart from what it did to Clapper, Wyden's subterfuge even sucked in the idiot, traitorous Snowden who, like far too many people, felt Clapper's oath before Congress was more important than his (Snowden AND Clapper's) obligation under federal law governing the classification and handling of classified material. Snowden has freely admitted that Clapper's false response to Wyden's question was a significant factor in his decision to release the shit storm of classified documents to Wikileaks.

And millions of Americans, like you, were left ONLY with the impression that this was about nothing other than James Clapper lying to Congress.

It all quite directly links back to the heinous acts of Ron Wyden, P (for "prick"), Oregon.

You don't get to shield illegal behavior by classifying a program. I think it was appropriate to leak this. As to how to make the public aware, I fon't see any great, moral options to do so.

1984 was not far wrong, was it?

Cities are archiving overhead survellience footage and recording our movements with license plate readers, and thats just local stuff. I understand the general concepts that if you're in public you don't have an expectation of privacy but when you collect, collate, sort, and archive all of my movements- you know who my associates are, who I'm meeting with and at what time... it has a great chilling effect on the right and freedom to assemble.

Does back that old balance of security vs. Freedom. There are certainly events where it would sure be nice to be able to roll the videotape back and find that kidnappers vehicle or trace the killers footsteps but I'm really not willing to give up privacy.
