(Since pardons are a constitutionally enumerated presidential power, is it can’t or won’t?) Something President Obama claims he can’t do. “That is not going to happen,” one executive reportedly said in response to a call to focus the meeting on healthcare, “We are here to talk about the NSA.” At one point, Zynga founder Marc Pincus reportedly called for a pardon of Edward Snowden, The next day, President Obama invited tech leaders, including Apple’s Tim Cook, Google’s Eric Schmidt, and Yahoo’s Marissa Mayer to the White House to discuss the Web site, but what the president got instead was an earful. Bush - whose administration is credited with the current state of NSA affairs - went so far as to call the programs “almost Orwellian,” adding that James Madison, architect of the U.S. Leon, an appointee of former president George W. District Court Judge Richard Leon found that the NSA’s warrantless data collection programs are likely unconstitutional. It turns out that the NSA needed all the public relations help it could get. Needless to say, the 60 Minutes piece was eviscerated in the press, including The New York Times and The Verge. Over the course of the show, Miller failed to challenge the NSA’s story - that it was the victim of the villainous Edward Snowden, who permanently damaged the NSA’s ability to protect freedom-loving Americans from terrorism. The reporter, John Miller, even said in the story that “General Alexander agreed to talk to us because he believes the NSA has not told its story well.” In reality, it was little more than a puff piece by a reporter who wasn’t a 60 Minutes regular, but instead a former Associate Deputy Director of National Intelligence who has since been hired as a Deputy Commissioner of the New York City Police Department. But as the NSA drama hits the courts, keeping up with the latest is more important than ever.įollowing my last roundup, 60 Minutes aired a piece on the NSA.
The revelations from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden keep snowballing so quickly that my last roundup (“ Keeping up with the Snoops,” 10 December 2013) seemed obsolete within hours after it was published.
