Rep. Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat, disclosed this week that during a secret briefing to members of Congress, he was told that the contents of a phone call could be accessed "simply based on an analyst deciding that."
If the NSA wants "to listen to the phone," an analyst's decision is sufficient, without any other legal authorization required, Nadler said he learned. "I was rather startled," said Nadler, an attorney and congressman who serves on the House Judiciary committee.
Now let's note 'expert' Carie Corderro in Steve Henn's report for Wednesday's Morning Edition:
SNOWDEN: Not all analysts have the ability to target everything. But I, sitting at my desk, certainly had the authorities to wiretap anyone from you or your accountant to a federal judge to even the president if I had a personal email.
HENN: So is this plausible?
CARRIE CORDERO: No.
HENN: Carrie Cordero is the director of National Security Studies at Georgetown University Law Center.
CORDERO: The notion that this individual has the authority to go ahead and quote-unquote wiretap people is just ridiculous.
What's that Cordero?
We think it's the sound of your clown face cracking. Reach down and pick it up off the floor. You didn't know what you were talking about. You're an idiot and let's hope your students at Georgetown next fall heckle you.
Let's also hope you learn a lesson, dumb ass, that you need to close your mouth and listen and stop telling us what's what because your sheer stupidity is breath taking.
