DOD, which subjects us all to secret bulk collection, is complaining that Snowden conducted secret bulk collection. http://www.emptywheel.net/2014/02/08/dod-complains-about-speculative-risk-of-bulk-collection/ …
@christe4 And they're not doing this exclusively for safety reasons. They're doing it for foreign intell purposes.

@emptywheel foreign intel keeps us safe too. -
@christe4 Yes. Scotching climate agreements and passing sovereignty killing trade deals sure keeps us safe. Oh wait. No they don't! -
@emptywheel No government is perfect but PBO is the best President in my long life. -
@christe4 And PBO is not Keith Alexander and has himself suggested he doesn't have full control over Alexander. -
@emptywheel Exactly, no President has complete control over government but unlike Snowden he has a responsible position. -
@christe4 And so your approach is to let him operate with badly inadequate oversight? Yay democracy! -
@emptywheel No it is not MY approach. Inadequate oversight of Booz Allen gave us Snowden. -
@christe4 And Alexander and DiFi have moved to give contractors less oversight going forward, and to keep access to raw data. - 3 more replies
