NSA Director Alexander says, "There is nothing that anyone from the NSA has done that is wrong."

~snip~

When a Maryland State Senator Jim Rosepepe asked Alexander how he justified the tapping of phones of world leaders the general responded, "I would actually turn it around and say, I think there's a better way to do it. We can look at some of these and say, some of this is not needed to defend the nation". Ah, no kidding general, but what kind of an answer was that to the state senator's question?

Alexander went on to relate terrorism and cyber security gaps remain the greatest threats to the U.S. then went on to criticize the whistleblowing of Edward Snowden and the media that published Snowden's authenticated accounts saying they harmed the nations security, its companies and relationships with allies and the NSA programs are misunderstood by the public as "Snowden misinterpreted the way we work". No general, it is the NSA's actions that have harmed the nations security, harmed companies earnings with "back door" entry into software sold to foreign clients, harmed relationships with "allies" by bugging their leaders cell phones as well as their people without any justification.

But there you have it.

This confirmed liar, who before the revelations by Snowden began to come to light this past summer, had testified before Congressional committees stating, "We don't conduct surveillance of Americans," when in truth we now know Alexander DID lie to Congress (which by the way is a felony) and last night he's still coming up with the same sorry disclaimer, "There is nothing that anyone from the NSA has done that is wrong". Please.
