Former NSA Director: ‘An Attack Is Going To Come’ -- CNN

The former director of the U.S.’s National Security Agency, General Keith Alexander, warned Thursday that the NSA, mired in controversy over alleged overreach, will inevitably come under another kind of negative scrutiny when the next terrorist attack comes.

My Comment: When it comes to terror attacks .... Keith Alexander says the same thing every few weeks. He will probably be right one day .... but living in a climate of constant fear and losing one's rights to privacy is not the society that I want to live in.

But what has been interesting about former NSA Director Alexander in the past few weeks is his comments on Edward Snowden. He is convinced that he is working with Russian intelligence (contradicting the current head of the NSA who believes that he is not) ... and it is obvious that Keith Alexander is still extremely bitter over what has happened. I guess he should be obsessed with this individual .... because it was under his watch and Edward Snowden that the biggest leak in U.S. intelligence history occurred. My suggestion to the former NSA Director is to forget about it and go ahead and make millions from his new cyber-security firm. .... which I am positive that he will.
