In today’s Senate Judiciary Committee “Hearing on the Report of the President’s Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies” Sen. Ted Cruz asked witnesses, Richard A. Clarke, Michael J. Morell, Professor Geoffrey R. Stone, Cass R. Sunstein, and Professor Peter Swire, if government surveillance programs have focused too much on gathering information on law-abiding citizens and too little on people who are actually tied to terrorism.
“I think a great many Americans have concerns about the current state of NSA surveillance”, he said. “I have concerns on two fronts: I am concerned on the one hand that the federal government has not been effective enough monitoring and surveilling bad guys. That we have not succeeded in preventing what should have been preventable terrorist attacks. And that the same time I am concerned that the sweep of the surveillance has been far too broad with respect to law-abiding citizens. And I think a great many Americans would prefer to see that reversed.”
“Despite all of our surveillance capabilities, despite having significant indications that Major Hasan was engaged in these communications, the federal government failed to prevent the horrific terrorist attack that claimed the life of 14 innocents at Fort Hood. So the first questions I would like to ask the panel is in your judgment why is that?
How does Mr. Cruz propose that the potential terrorists be sorted out from the law abiding citizens to begin with?
There’s an old hunting saying that you’ll never hit a rabbit if you aim at a bunch of rabbits.
See?
You have to aim at just ONE rabbit.
Then your chance of hitting it will improve.
The Apostle Paul stated a similar thought (showing just how old this saying is) when he said you must aim so as to hit your target and not the air.
Obama’s NSA is hitting the air, missing the rabbit, missing the terrorists.
Obama has a strong prejudice when it comes to Islam……
It cannot be bad, not its followers be led to do bad things by it.
It is a peaceful religion that somehow keeps being misunderstood by some of its adherents, so they kill innocent people all the time.
With this mindset Obama cannot properly aim his arrow of NSA spying.
He will always miss.
Will we be successfully struck here in the USA soon?
What’s to stop it?
The number of different countries where Islamic attacks are taking place grows under Obama’s lack of leadership.
