Clapper Announces Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies
- a3n 13y ago"The Review Group will assess whether, in light of advancements in communications technologies, the United States employs its technical collection capabilities in a manner that optimally protects our national security and advances our foreign policy ..." What was supposed to be a sunlight accounting has already turned into a funding and power grab. "... while appropriately accounting for other policy considerations, such as the risk of unauthorized disclosure and our need to maintain the public trust." (Emphasis mine.) These weasels can NOT say a single word without a weasel adjective. The whole point was supposed to be public trust, and it comes last and hedged. Without having seen the appointees or its (foregone?) report, I think it's setting up to have no muscle at all. Gag.

Of course, why do you think they got guy, who they got to lie in front of congress the first time (no not Roger Clemens, that was more reprehensible than this of course) to chair this circus?
