the folks i've seen on tv representing the nsa look like exactly the kinds of folks who shouldn't make those judgements.
is someone like general hayden capable of making a sensible decision?
he can't even see that someone like snowden is a patriot.
rather let people who can see the difference between violent extremism and peaceful idealism have control of the levers.
no militaristic nationalist should ever be placed in the executive role at nsa. that role eventually leads to decisions involving the life and death of the surveilled. information defines the drone assassination programme.
