first now when i think of the n.s.a. surveillance this year i think of the n.s.a. as more piggybacking off of private sector companies collection of data rather than actually collecting data itself now you call it a public private surveillance partnership there so how much of what the n.s.a. does is about using american companies database for the n.s.a.'s own purposes. the n.s.a. does both they certainly do a lot of collecting of data. through stu subterfuge by tapping undersea cables by going into hostile countries and collecting microwave links but they also get a lot through alliances both the n.s.a. in the us g c h q in the u.k. and partners all through europe are collecting data with the cooperation of telcos of service providers that are provided that are providing that data for people around the world as data moves across the internet there's a lot more use of alliances to get that data and yes there is a very strong partnership between the n.s.a. and companies really around the world now that you've said that the internet is the surveillance state because w

i n.s.a. revelations have completely redefined the notion of intelligence gathering and have shed light on technologies that were unheard of only a few years ago but to former n.s.a. insiders saw the rise of the surveillance state long before the world had even heard of edward snowden bill binney was an n.s.a. technical director from one thousand nine hundred sixty five to two thousand and one and kirk wiebe was a senior analyst in the n.s.a. from one nine hundred seventy five to two thousand and one in the months after nine eleven the two men witnessed a complete transformation of the agency and were forced to retire due to their grave concerns over the direction of the n.s.a. both whistleblowers came on the show earlier this summer and abbie first asked to be what happened to the mass data collection system called thin thread that he created which had built in protections for american citizens the facts part of the analysis part the part that allowed them to deal with massive amounts of data

n.s.a. story broke based on a trove of leaked documents since then it's been a constant stream of articles shedding light on programs that u.s. intelligence agencies had previously kept classified but since the amount of information is so vast perhaps it's time we take a step back and go over a few of the most stunning revelations of the past year starting with the hard evidence that the national security agency was spying on u.s. citizens in june of last year guardian journalist glenn greenwald reported that the n.s.a. was collecting the phone records of millions of arisan customers across the u.s. but later we learned that it wasn't just verizon leaked documents reveal that the sweep communications involved practically every telecom in america that in less than twenty four hours we learned about prism a program the n.s.a. used to obtain direct access to the servers of giant tech companies like google facebook and apple this announcement was particularly controversial because many of these

since the n.s.a. has so much of american communications -- telephone calls, e-mails and so forth -- and if there is a second leaker, which apparently there is, and certainly the evidence indicates that, and maybe having been inspired by edward snowden, it's certainly a major problem for n.s.a., if they thought they had a problem with snowden, now they have a problem with someone else

since the n.s.a. so much of american communications -- telephone calls, e-mails and so forth -- and if there is a second leaker, which apparently there is, and certainly the evidence indicates that, and maybe having been inspired by edward snowden, it's certainly a major problem for n.s.a., if they thought they had a problem with snowden, now they have a problem with someone else there. >> ifill: what kind of life is snowden leading in exile these days? >> he seems fairly comfortable in his life. the three days i spent with him he never complained about his life there. i think he's adapted to the life in moscow quite well. moscow is not your grandfather's russia unde. he just had his visa extended another three years. i think he said obviously he would much rather be living in the u.s. with his family and so forth, but i think he's adapting quite well. >> he expects to be hacked at any moment by the u.s. government? >> well, he certainly thinks they're certainly trying to hack into him. he says that h

now the n.s.a. is also notably absent from the stage of what is arguably the world's largest computer security convention let's get more on this from security researcher carson . carson for joining us here on or to international to discuss this well certainly now is not a good time to be in a say director before kids alexander step down he want to listen i guess hacker conference and his speech was met by this let's take a listen. we stand for freedom oh. not that. no. one. i haven't lied to congress. all right well you have heard the reception that he got of the skunk friends and you know this is something the fact that made the agency keep a low profile and not give any keynotes this year what do you make of this. appearance of the selling stand in front of the anchor conference last year is very well remembered as their only attempt to have. bridged the gap between what they are doing in computer security and what everybody publicly saying stay should be doing and that attempt was a complete fail

well, if i were concerned at n.s.a. was listening in on a telephone anybody sitting in this room today, i would be totally outraged. get briefed on these programs on a regular been to n.s.a.e any number of times, i've watched what they do. our oversight. that's part of my responsibility of you, andntative diane's responsibility as a knowsentative of you, to what these programs are and to know what they do and to know n.s.a. is going with programs of this nature and we do -- there is no program in the that isence community more highly scrutinized than metadataall the collection program that n.s.a. has been operating. congress approved what we call the foreign intelligence surveillance act that gives n.s.a., gives c.i.a. folks in the intelligence community certain power and authority to try to bad guys around the world and to gather -- use to gather possible information from them. areion 215 and section 702 that billovisions in the n.s.a. the authority to collect telephone numbers from individuals around and around the wo

agent and whistleblower thank you very much for joining me thank you the n.s.a. and its former director general keith alexander are back on to the public spotlight for dealing in secret to get artist marina porter nial shed some light on less. the agency that eroded the meaning of privacy and indiscriminately peered into the lives of millions of citizens around the world is suddenly subscribing to protecting personal information but only if that person happens to be the former director of the national security agency keith alexander the n.s.a. work uses to release the financial disclosures of the four star general who according to reports is currently raking in some a one million dollars a month for his cyber security consulting services this has released ethical questions and concerns that the former spy chief may be selling high level security secrets and classified information for a lucrative paycheck misusing classified information for profit is a federal felony critics say the only thing alexander has to offer potential clients is the state secrets he knows

clues to indicate which documents he actually saw and which documents he actually copied so that the n.s.a., when they went back and did an audit, would be able to determine that he was a whistleblower -- in other words, taking documents that indicated they were involved in domestic eavesdropping, for example, as opposed to documents dealing with north korea or russia or china or whatever. so he didn't say how many documents, but he said there were considerably fewer than the 1.7 million that the n.s.a. has alleged, and that 1.7 million is basically based on the documents he may have at one point seen, but certainly not the documents that he copied and by them missing the clues he left, we

national security agency and israel they say the n.s.a. has been providing israel with intelligence as well as cash to combat palestinian terrorism for more on this i'm joined live from london by polly boyko so tell us about these intelligence links. well glenn greenwald says that every time an israeli attack takes place in gaza public figures in the u.s. make grand sweeping statements about how devastating the conflict is as though it's some sort of natural disaster just like that. shelling of the u.n. school in gaza but according to glenn greenwald's article. the u.s. directly enables israel's actions so he cites for example documents that show that over the past decade the n.s.a. has expanded the number of ways in which they work with israeli intelligence agencies especially when it comes to gathering intelligence in regards to palestinians now he also says that the british spy agency g c h q is sort of taking part in that data gathering and data sharing along with their canadian counterparts as well now he cites documents that say that

the n.s.a. is also notably absent from the stage of what saga be the world's largest computer security convention secured such a cost of knoll believes the n.s.a. can't seem to figure itself. appearance of the celtics and conference of last year's very well remembered as their only attempt to. bridge the gap between what they are doing in computer security and what everybody publicly things they should be doing and that it was a complete failure we stand for freedom. not. my. wife you know. i haven't lied to congress and he seems to have a conflict. on the one hand collecting information and stealing secrets elsewhere and already has and protecting american companies and the american government from oz's doing it to them and that second part is what everybody wants to see more action and ironically he's alexander who's down not out of tennessee anymore is put out for trying to help companies protect themselves. will do some prefer to go back to iraq for this first one a car bombs going off in a

people in the n.s.a. database data mining just surveilling everybody is not a cost of effective way of finding terrorists because it's too easy to hide in the noise what finds terrorists is following the leads the things that have been successful for the n.s.a. are when adolescents go with a known thread and follow it who are their associates what are they are doing that's how we stop terrorism it's not broad surveillance it's pinpoint target surveillance the kind of stuff you see in the movies following the leads frequently right now most focused on issues of roughly speaking confidentiality data breach privacy etc etc you know that that might all be. collected on the word confidentiality going forward it could well be that we inadvertently or maybe just decided oh well give up on confidentiality but integrity is in the big issue and with. medical records i'd really rather that the average person not modify mine and and and electronic health records already sell for more in the black market than credit c

and his theory on n.s.a. reform take a look. well they're already in refrigerators they do things that are putting them on the internet this is the internet of things as computers get cheaper it becomes cost effective put them everywhere in our major appliances or a small appliances and tags on our clothing in our sensors you know we have nest thermostats right computers and internet in our in our building control systems and over the next five ten years i think you're going to see computers drop in price to the point where they will be everywhere now that's going to be extraordinary the things we can do will be amazing a lot of people have written about that but yes there are now risks there are the pedestrian risks that your refrigerator can become part of a bot net or a virus can take over your clothing and there are going to be surveillance risks where you're thermostats on the internet it's probably hackable and somebody can get that data course why they want that data we don't know and maybe that's been i let's give me a l

is doing we need more transparency in both the n.s.a. and other governments are probably not going to get that with other governments or the governments and russia and china are not going to be transparent to the same degree we need oversight you know in the u.s. i want more oversight by congress by regulatory bodies over both government and corporate surveillance and i want to count ability you know when young someone's had a cat held accountable those three things in general or how we're going to restore trust and that the mistrust comes from the fact that we don't know what's going on . that was noted cryptologist bruce schneier time now for today's big deal. big deal time and i'm joined by the wonderful and want to know when mr and i were on the show here to the big sam is artie is a political commentator and he's pinch hitting for edward harrison he's on. and we're discussing tech tech and more tech in fact we're covering everything from tesla if you can believe it madame kim cardassian. now first up fast food sales now while all th

they've let it go they let it go with clapper when he told them that the united states or that the n.s.a. was not collecting medicaid dad and hundreds of millions of people he said no we're not doing that they've let a lot of line go even john brennan himself has lied before about the drone bombing he said that there had been no collateral are killings when he knew that there were wedding parties and many many innocent people that have been killed in the drone bombing so he's so there is unfortunately it's going to be kind of a tolerance of the executive branch lying to congress and all of our democratic system will will be hurt because of this you've got to have three separate scree separate branches of government that can check and balance in oversee each other if congress cannot oversee this well we were looking at a really different form of government than what we call ourselves a democracy ok well speaking of check and balance what do you feel is the next step here should congress demand the resignation of assyria director brennan. i think a couple of senators you doll and white in

first week of blackout interviews we'll see what cryptologists bruce schneier has to say about n.s.a. surveillance nextstep computer security analyst dan gere tells us what he sees for the future of internet confidentiality and to top off the segment security consultant kate pierce is giving us her take on the efficiency of data mining in light of all the controversy surrounding mass surveillance enjoy. i think the real problem aaron has being that policymakers bankers regulators politicians vs anybody you want virtually anybody you want to think about who has been a party to what has happened up until now i think if you accuse them of short termism it would be an accusation that i think the judge would say is a is an appropriate one. i think there is far too little thinking about the longer term implications of what's happening and that's one of the reasons why i'm sort of sympathetic to the b.o.'s as arguments about is it time to pull the pull the plug on quantitative easing and all the rest of this stuff because my sense and i think the b.o.'s a sense is that the positive benefits

this is the n.s.a. simply storing those numbers and not being able to access those numbers without a court order. and you would like to think that would give people some comfort that n.s.a. is -- is only going to look at telephone records of folks who are carrying out activities or not in accord with u.s. law and that are in opposition to u.s. interests. unfortunately when you have a revelation like came out of mr. snowden, all of that changes. unfortunately, some of the things that mr. snowden could happen can't happen and i can't talk to you about them because they can't happen. keith alexander, the just retired director of the n.s.a., has talked in more detail about some of those things. but there is reason to look at a program like this. there is reason to try to make it more transparent. i think americans ought to know what we're doing but i can just assure you that nobody's telephone record is ever authorized to be looked into unless there is a case made to a judge, a federal judge, that this indi

the n.s.a. is one day game they have total control over our privacy i have just let go and accepted it now we can all reveal whatever i shoplift anklets from for for ever twenty one just to feel alive. no more secret time to have a one hour i haven't billion dollar annual budget one hundred thousand employees a brand new data collection center the size of seven ben bernanke's partnerships with one hundred seventy one universities and no congressional oversight yeah they've won she says my brain shut off just when you said seven pentagons but that suppressing is suppressed because it's not it's great everything's public domain wanna hear about my sexual dysfunction. i know i know oddly enough it only happens when there's a crescent moon and no fewer than five special friends but no more than ever really i really really don't want to hear is there anything else that the off now project suggest we can do yes they say states can withdraw support from federal agencies because of the anti commandeerin

enables israel's actions so he cites for example documents that say that over the past decade the n.s.a. has expanded the number of ways in which it works with the israeli intelligence agencies he also talks about large payments large sums of money that have been paid from the u.s. government over to israeli operatives now all this is on top of publicly available information that the u.s. government is continuing to supply israel with weapons such as i munition and grenade launchers amidst this very violent offensive now both the n.s.a. and g c h q have said that they won't comment on their existing relationships but everything they do is within the framework of the law now glenn greenwald says that legal or not these new documents highlight the role the u.s. role in israeli what he calls israeli aggression towards its neighbors he says that the help of the u.s. and its key allies is very covert and it is squarely at all with the image that the u.s. has cultivated of being a helpless by stand in this conflict of being completely detached in this conflict . in africa's terrifying a bow o
