US agency (NSA) “collecting phone records“

[Duchess]

I'm getting more than a little caught up in this story. I went looking for new information the moment I signed on this morning. I found a comment made by NSA chief General Keith Alexander who expresses dismay that the system to keep classified information from leaking out did not work as it should and he doesn't understand why. That strikes me as very odd. He doesn't know why it didn't work but I do. How can that be. I'd fire his junky ass just for being so goddamn stupid. These people (NSA) don't even know if those still employed by the contractors used for vetting potential employees can be trusted because the vetting was so lackadaisical...and still, it's all about Snowden and nothing about those who let the fox into the hen house.
