thing i think of the future of the internet if we want to have a free internet now before the n.s.a. started plugging the systems into the internet the internet was a fairly robust system and it was growing really on its own accord and it was being helped along by the free software movement and by engineers like the linux movement would come up with software that was superior to the commercial software and now you've got the n.s.a. so much as if they. you've got a bridge that they suddenly they are picking away at that bridge trying to take out bits and pieces for themselves i think some of the concrete might be valuable or what i do know but they're destroying the integrity of the robustness of the structure correct yeah no it's there and they're purposeful weakening of security protocols has literally endangered everybody who was doing anything on the internet so it's made us more vulnerable to all kinds of low mid level cyber crime and it's made us all less private and it's i don't think most people really sort of have forgotten how bad this really is ok now some people have you got brazi

bush absolutely in the very same year for the society number but at the very same year that the n.s.a. started the warrantless wiretapping program judge leon was appointed to the bench and the senate striking the program that was started in secret illegally and unconstitutional by the president who nominated him is now the one the judge leon i think proving the independence of branch of the federal judiciary. is taking some pains to restrain and place constitutional limits on so there's this presidential review group going to. president obama's review of these programs and he says any leaks out of that in the sense of what's going on there have been a couple weeks the first of them is that the review commission the review board had recommended to the white house to split the n.s.a. between a military command and a civilian command and the word on the street at least is that the white house has declined that recommendation and will instead ensure that the n.s.a. remains a strictly military instrument there are going to be any number of other recommendations the full contours of which will not b

n.s.a. didn't start off so well full disclosure i once worked in the office of the director of national intelligence seriously seriously they couldn't have chosen a different reporter someone who'd say didn't previously work for the intelligence state john miller has always had a very close that's his schtick is that he's got this close relationship still with all his national security people he used to work with and it basically meant you've got a national security insider preventing this you know presenting this so-called big scoop but the compromise reporter really is the perfect setup for what followed next a p.r. job for the n.s.a. and since it was a p.r. job the n.s.a. was spared tough questions and given a platform to distort the claims made against the agency by the edward snowden documents and i say can only target the communications of a u.s. person with a probable cause finding under a specific court order today we have less than sixty authorizations and specific persons to do that he actually was asked. whether a bit collect content and responded by by addressing whether they target amer

n.s.a. contractor or start a virtual documents on u.s. surveillance programs across the world he did receive temporary asylum in russia and his exact whereabouts are still unknown due to security reasons and according to the president never met personally but it doesn't i admire him as a character in things that snowden did make a major impact on the world and on the global political elite the president also commented on his relations with president obama on the tactics used by u.s. security services. because. we all know after snowden's leaks i know america was shocked to learn her telephone had been wiretapped enough of them stated if. she's absolutely fine so don't worry what are russia's relations like with the u.s. after the leaks. so you want to know how i regard mr snowden's leaks i feel jealous i feel jealous because he can do such things and get off scot free still there's nothing to be happy about but on the other hand there's no reason to be frustrated however tough the criticism against the u.s. may be all these measures have
