> Representative Mike Rogers, Republican of Michigan and the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said in an interview that he would spend much of the week meeting with venture capitalists and young entrepreneurs to try to rebuild Silicon Valley’s trust in the intelligence community. How? By lying to them some more? I haven't seen one truth spoken by Mike Rogers about NSA so far. And they thought he's the perfect guy to rebuild trust with Silicon Valley? Do they imagine that if he's the guy that lies the most about NSA, that also means Silicon Valley will buy it? > Thursday but Metreon’s management began to grow concerned after they received calls from RSA’s conference organizers. I don't get it. Why would they care what RSA thinks? Unless they got some calls from some Congressmen/NSA, too? > As one put it, “If you’re not here, you’re shutting yourself out of the conversation, which helps nobody.” To backdoor or not to backdoor. Yeah, that's some conversation. So from all the people who said that, and went to RSA, did they actually "have that conversation"? Or did they just sit quietly in their chairs and waited to be spoonfed some more lies? Something tells me most of those didn't even care if they put a backdoor. They're just there to get more business. From what I hear, RSA didn't even bother to alleviate concerns about their backdoor. Probably because trying to do that would mean admitting to it, and that's rather keep people confused. This way they may get to keep some fans. > “There are many of us at AT&T who are disturbed by what we’ve been hearing about the N.S.A.,” this person said. “But when you see that,” he said, pointing to the T-shirts, “a conversation becomes impossible.” Poor AT&T. People are so unfair to them. I mean so what they let NSA tap into their cables and gave them whatever data they wanted? That doesn't mean people should be mean to them by wearing T-shirts describing exactly what they did. It reminds me of GEMA complaining about Youtube telling its viewers that the videos were taken down by GEMA.
