and at the time one of the board members of the aclu, jeffrey stone, was on that panel. i was kind of skeptical about this individual being on there, and i'm sure he looked at me somewhat ascans. after five weeks of sitting down with our people and going through every one of those he came up to me and said your people had the greatest integrity of any agencies i've ever seen. i said, don't tell me, tell the american people, tell congress, tell the people of n.s.a. and tell the white house and he did. and so there are some key statements by jeffrey stone that shows that we can protect civil liberties and privacy and i think it's important to see some of his statements there because what it did, he also asked me to right an op ed. so imagine an army officer and a board member of the aclu righting an op-ed on re-authorizing the metadata program with some changes and we did. and the reason -- i asked him, why are you doing that? and he said the reason i'm doing this is if we don't have programs like this and we're attacked, we won't have civil liberties and privacy. and the
