NSA Circus Returns to Congress

Clapper and Alexander on the NSA road comedy tour went to hearings before the House intelligence committee, and did their usual act.  Why do those people still have jobs?
  • Should the power of the NSA be limited more?  No.  We prevented 54 plots, don't ask me how.
  • Did Obama order surveillance of Angela Merkel?  Maybe, I don't know.  Somebody did.
Dancing around the central question of how much Obama knew about NSA spying on foreign leaders, Clapper testified that the intelligence agencies “do only what the policymakers, writ large, have actually asked us to do.” But he added that the “level of detail” about how those requirements are implemented rarely rises to the attention of presidents.
Clapper and Alexander with their arrogant attitudes act as if the fix is in and nothing will change.  Considering they still have jobs in government, maybe they're right, nothing has changed so far.
