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.'"

People are wringing their hands over an automated system that might see your super secret facebook Like of the latest Lil Bub video, meanwhile conservashits and rethuglicans are destroying this country with their partisan horseshit, anti-science, and jeezus crap. Why can't we focus on the problem which is the Right in this country and leave meaningless tripe like this out of the headlines?
