Intel Chief: Reporters Got PRISM Story All Wrong

DNI: WaPo, Guardian Articles Contained ‘Numerous Inaccuracies’

In a pair of statements released late Thursday, James R. Clapper Jr., the director of national intelligence, pushed back against articles published by The Washington Post and The Guardian about a highly classified program called PRISM that enables the government to tap into data from leading tech companies.

Clapper said the articles contained "numerous inaccuracies" and said the disclosure of the secret documents may cause "irreversible harm" to national security.

well now, if it wasn't TOP FUCKING SECRET we wouldn't have that problem , would we? So much for transparency in the Obama administration.....another broken promise...another lie.

BTW, do you really think we should take the word of the director of national intelligence about intelligence agencies and what they do?

I trust the press more then the government on this issue.
