NSA Moves To Replace Humans With Machines To Stop Leaks"With Democrats now joining Republicans in attacking privacy and civil liberties, the only unpredictable element left for the government is people. Without pesky people, government will run far more smoothly. It appears citizens are to be monitored not listened to in the new American political system. Presumably, with an automated system of warrantless surveillance and the courts allowing the Administration to classify evidence to dismiss challenges, Alexander will simply outsource constitutional complaints to India where customer service will ask them to call back later. "
Alexander is quoted as saying that he wants to reduce human administrators by 90 percent to be replaced by machines. What he sees as the problem is not the false statements by Obama, Clapper, or our leaders. It is those troublesome humans with their nagging consciences and individual will."
<snip>
It is also another wonderful example of the open hypocrisy on display in our government. On the eve of declaring, Whistleblower Day Congress and the White House are moving to make whistleblowers impossible. Machines dont blow whistles. They dont speak to reporters. They carry out any abusive or unconstitutional act that you ask of them. In other words, problem solved.

As usual, Jonathon Turley has an interesting take on our current situation.
This twisted thinking that now DOMINATES our Government and the leadership of BOTH Political Parties reminds me of Sec of Defense Donald Rumsfeld after the Torture Scandal at AbuGhraib exploded.
According to Rumsfeld, "torture" wasn't the problem.
The Problem was CAMERAS, and people finding out about the torture!
His first actions were NOT to stop torture.
His first remedy was to abolish cameras!
Problem Solved!!!
Read'Em and Weep,
because that is ALL we are allowed to do these days.
You will know them by their [font size=3]WORKS,[/font]
not by their speeches, promises, or excuses.

whats with these lists of credit card numbers floating around? If information is collected it is going to leak.

68 MGB and a 65 BSA A-65A Thunderbolt for me.
I absolutely LOVED them both,
but spent an hour working on them for every hour I drove.
NOTHING was more fun to drive and sweeter than those pieces of history.

That should bring the whole thing crashing down, and the techs will have to work in an un-airconditioned building to sort it out.
