From all appearances, the checks and balances are working just as they were intended to work when they were passed. What we have is a case of buyer's regret.
Sorry no. The Director of National Intelligence lied to Congress about NSA surveillance.
Mr. Goebbels, err, Mr. Clapper:
quote:
Back at an open congressional hearing on March 12, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) asked Clapper, Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans? Clapper replied, No sir not wittingly. As we all now know, he was lying.
"I thought, though in retrospect, I was asked ‘when are you going to stop beating your wife’ kind of question, which is not answerable necessarily by a simple yes or no. So I responded in what I thought was the most truthful, or least untruthful, manner by saying, ‘No.’
Fire James Clapper
The Director of National Intelligence lied to Congress about NSA surveillance. What else will he lie about?
Fire DNI James Clapper: He lied to Congress about NSA surveillance.
