NSA to Congress, We Suspect Terrorists Speak In Code
NSA to Congress, We Suspect Terrorists Speak In Code
October 18, 2002
The NSA Director told Congress, Terror group's messengers steer clear of NSA ears Al-Qaeda not leaving clues to intercept
I'm always amazed when Captain Obvious goes to Congress and it's treated like news.
While the NSA Director put his best obvious foot forward in a congressional hearing, another intelligence source was saying, ''I have been privileged to listen to this stuff, and a lot of it is crap.''
Well, did you expect them to spell it out for you?
We spend god knows how much money on this, and are asked to surrender our basic liberties, only to find out that the terrorists speak in garbled code.
Thanks very much! Wouldn't we be so much better off if, instead of this giant bureaucracy of a standing militia - which is the exact opposite of what the Framers intended in the Second Amendment - we just had a citizen militia, instead? Isn't it true that the times we actually stopped terrorists in action - the shoe-bomber and the 4th flight on 9/11 - it's been private citizens who did it, anyway, acting as a citizen militia?
Wouldn't DC be alot safer right now if a citizen militia had the right to organize and fight back against the terrorist sniper?
By the way, some day the bureaucratic standing militia is going to admit that, like duh, the DC sniper is Al Qaeda ... Trust me on that.
(Oh yeah and someday they'll also admit that Bin Laden is dead)
UPDATE: I'm sorry, I'm sure everyone in the NSA is trying their hardest. I salute the brave men and women who put themselves in harm's way.
I'm just saying that I believe there's a better way... and ironically, it's the old-fashioned way of the Framers, not the new-fangled way of bureaucratic techno-spying.
OK, now I've really got to get back to school, or I'm going to get KILLED!
