In reply to the discussion: Obama taps "cognitive infiltrator" Cass Sunstein for Committee to create "trust" in NSA [View all]libdude
(136 posts)A quote attributed to President Lincold about fooling some of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time but you can not fool all of the people all of the time, comes to mind. As laughable as having Clapper be the overseer of this intelligence gathering programs and operation, selecting this Sunstein to be involved with this review process is just attempting to do nothing more that fool as many of the American people as possible, to the extent that we believe some effective action has actually taken place.
" ...sent out Swarms of Officers to harass..." sort of comes to mind in thinking about this Sunstein and his idea to use " infiltrators " which to come to a predetermined conclusion that collecting all the data on as many Americans is a good thing, they just need to be convinced by advertising that it is.
I have had the idea that the Intelligence Committees of the Senate and House should review these programs and determine their appropriate responsibilities and scope of duties. Clapper should not be involed in any way as he has already lied to Congress and should be charged and presecuted.
