Given from the perspective of a former NSA official..and angles to the issue that hasn't really been widely addressed.. this interview warrants vesting the time and special attention to.

within NSA and full clearance to look at anything. An audit comittee. I think our eyes would pop out. But I also think Snowden has kinda done that. So our eyes will pop out.

Binney clarified what he thinks ought to comprise the audit committee... HACKERS! I LOVE it! And as for the rest of the crew... they shouldn't be there long.. no revolving doors..

He left the agency because of the CORRUPTION .. isn't that primarily what's really going on anyway? nothing to do with terra terra terra.. (we knew that) he's talking about the funding structure just the like the defense dept/pentagon. just another extremely corrupt agency sucking up the treasury like there's no tomorrow.
