"The now-retired NSA official...says he argued to then-NSA Director Keith Alexander"
"The former official, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because he didn't have permission to discuss a classified matter"
and then
"An individual did bring us these questions, and he had some great points," Alexander told the AP."
So they know who it is. Isnt he going to get in trouble regardless?
- bediger4000 12y agoCAREFULLY NOTE THE AUTHOR OF THIS PIECE: Ken Dilanian. Ken Dilanian is at the very least, "friendly" with the CIA: http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2014/09/ken-dilanian-sent-cia-drafts-of-stories-194906.html http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2014/09/ken-dilanian-sen... At least in the past, he's run drafts of stories past CIA PR people. It's at least reasonable to consider the idea that this is a PR Hit for the NSA itself, therefore nobody will get in trouble. I concede that the "I argued with Keith and got ignored" angle is problematic if this is a PR Hit, but still, you've got to give the idea some credit.
