The NSA is increasing recruiting from Silicon Valley and investing in start-ups
Facebook recently revealed the NSA made between 9,000 and 10,000 requests for information in the latter half of 2012
It's unclear whether Kelly is directly involved in the NSA's Prism program

And this is the kind of clown we have working at the NSA.

Anybody really believe we have any secrets for Snowden to give?

Thanks for posting, note the source. Once again, things we won't be reading in the Obama knee-pad wearing lamestream media.

Any wonder why we won't see this in the American media? (Rhetorical question, doesn't require an answer...)
