NSA Chief Keith Alexander Takes His PRISM Pitch To YouTube
Daniel_Stuckey writes "There's definitely something strange about the video's attempt at looking/sounding like a NOVA episode. Alexander, who defended the agency at Black Hat this summer and recently announced his retirement next year, takes care to emphasize the agency's privacy compliance precautions and oversight. 'We have not had any willful or knowing violations in those programs,' he says referring to sections 215 and 702 of the Patriot Act, which relate to the telephone metadata and PRISM programs respectively. 'There have been [violations] in other programs, but not in those two.'"

The real "Libtards" are the Libertarians!
Because whistle blowers get put in prison these days.
Be seeing you...
He lied to Congress
It was Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper who lied to congress, not Alexander. At least not provably.
It is important that we keep the facts straight, every stray bullet is an excuse for the pro-NSA types to discredit our position.
When information is power, privacy is freedom.
