      If Russia hacked the #DNC, they should be condemned for it. But during the #Sony hack, the FBI presented evidence.https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/fbi-director-offers-new-evidence-to-back-claim-north-korea-hacked-sony/2015/01/07/ce667980-969a-11e4-8005-1924ede3e54a_story.html …

      Even if the attackers try to obfuscate origin, #XKEYSCORE makes following exfiltrated data easy. I did this personally against Chinese ops.

      Evidence that could publicly attribute responsibility for the DNC hack certainly exists at #NSA, but DNI traditionally objects to sharing.

      The aversion to sharing #NSA evidence is fear of revealing "sources and methods" of intel collection, but #XKEYSCORE is now publicly known.

          Without a credible threat that USG can and will use #NSA capabilities to publicly attribute responsibility, such hacks will become common.

          This is the only case in which mass surveillance has actually proven effective. Though I oppose in principle, it is a mistake to ignore.

          To summarize: the US Intel Community should modernize their position on disclosure. Defensive capabilities should be aggressively public.

          A closed democracy fosters distrust of government and can be easily corruptible.

          Yes there are many problems with an "open democracy"& "open government" but they pale in comparison to the tyranny of a closed govt
