@emptywheel@trevortimm The National Academies study had most of the committee seeing secret stuff—and deciding it wasn’t needed for debate -
@SteveBellovin Right. Though I suspect there are a few things (say, abt triage) they wouldn't want you to detail.@trevortimm -
@emptywheel@trevortimm Sure. They’re most concerned about sources and methods—who they monitor, and how. -
@SteveBellovin & gaps. Eg: why use of imperfect Telegram that's not part of PRISM caused gap. Not exclusively abt encryption tho@trevortimm

@emptywheel@trevortimm Classified briefings aren’t intended to silence/censor; they’re to make people insiders, members of the club. -
@SteveBellovin But on THIS issue, I suspect they want to present info that may be bogus but can't be challenged publicly.@trevortimm -
@emptywheel@trevortimm Not likely, IMO. But understanding the full picture without prior context is HARD. -
@emptywheel@trevortimm The National Academies report had ex-NSA, ex-IDA, and ex-Attorney-General on the committee—folks who knew context.
