The NSA came to recruit at a language program at the University of Wisconsin where I am spending my summer learning a language. Two recruiters, a redhead who looked more like a middle-aged mother (listed as “NSA_F” below) and a portly, balding man (“NSA_M”), began to go through slides explaining the NSA and its work.
I wish the young woman who asks most of the questions of the NSA robots could be recruited to Dagblog.
Student A: I also want to know what are the qualifications that one needs to become a whistleblower because that sounds like a much more interesting job....
...
Student B: ...How do you feel personally having a boss whose comfortable perjuring himself in front of Congress?
NSA_F: Our director is not general Clapper.
Student B: General Alexander also lied in front of Congress.
NSA_F: I don’t know about that.
Student B: Probably because access to the Guardian is restricted on the NSA’s computers
Yeah, NSA-F tacitly admitted that Clapper lied even though he has come up with some lame excuse. You can bet that content will be saved to the detriment of NSA-F's carrer. Actually, though, Student-B was partly wrong. I don't think Clapper looked comfortable at all, he looked like a scared prick with ears. He was responding directly and under oath to a Senator that knew his response was a bald-assed lie but was restricted by secrecy from saying so. All Wyden could do was get the lie on the record. Regardless the different opinions on Snowden, I gotta love his timing.
