| After an Easy Hearing, the NSA and FBI are Ready for a Drink |
| 2013-06-19 |
| If you were wondering how the NSA and FBI felt about the very friendly hearing the House Intelligence Committee invited them to today, a hot mic has your answer. "Tell your boss," NSA Director Keith Alexander told the FBI deputy director, "I owe him another friggin' beer." Top signals sleuth overlooks hot mic ??? Ben Doernberg caught the exchange, which we've clipped below. Alexander, being photographed at bottom center, is speaking with FBI deputy director Sean Joyce, to his left. Throughout the hearing the two worked together, with Alexander frequently setting up topics upon which Joyce expounded. When Alexander said that the government's surveillance tools had stopped over 50 terror attacks, Joyce described four of them. And so on. Over the course of three hours, the two faced little in the way of critique. Nonetheless, they were ready for a brew. Their more informal exchange came after Rep. Mike Rogers of Michigan banged the gavel. Scandal over! Jobs for life and "industry partners" secure....it's friggin' Miller time. Tomorrow we'll work on the extradition of that stinking IT contractor. |

| #4 I got the impression the hearing was scripted and everyone knew their part. JohnQC Well then, appears I wasn't the only one who detected a stage performance. As I watch what is taking place, I have this sinking feeling in my stomach about our great country. It's the same feeling, the same aching I got when I received the news of my father's passing many years ago. I knew it had happened, it wasn't a bad dream. I knew it was coming, his departure. His illness had taken an all too familiar pattern. It was reality and there was nothing I could do change it. |

| #2 I got the impression the hearing was scripted and everyone knew their part. No fireworks--All an attempt to assuage the distrust Americans have for big government and snooping on citizens. This was brought on by all the scandals and cover-ups. As someone said, "it has been a bad decade for the Bill of Rights" |
