This is like watching a super awkward scene in a movie or TV show that just won't end. The word "cyber" has been applied to every noun, and I've apparently been out of the loop on terms like "techno-boondoggle". This is just a little terrifying.

It's as if all the important decisions have already been made and they are just going through the motions.
Yeah. They are all reading from scripts. "This is something that we take looks down at script very seriously." Also, it appears that they were all privy to what each other was going to say before the hearing. " looks down at script As you said ..." Does that disturb anyone else?

Cyberhope, cyberchange, etc
im !american so really not backing hope and change here... but should not you/we be directing our vitriol in a bipartisan fashion? with regards to the mass expansion of surveillance, shit seems pretty fucked up across the political divide.
"The executive order, as you know, is this administration's effort after an attempt to get legislation last year."

If you notice, many of the papers were passed to him as he read, so it's possible one of his advisers had many prepared answers or simply wrote them down as the senator asked him questions.
Mikulski keeps calling "identity theft" war. This is a crime, it is not an act of war!
They're talking about their battle against cyber-crime as war - which is a reasonable statement to make. It's just the same as when governments and new agencies talk about the "war on drugs" etc.

It is already known that the NSA chief received the questions Sen. Wyden planned to ask him in advance , to give him time to prepare a response, a few months ago. This is said as if it is business as usual (and used to paint him in a worse light, since he lied before Congress after being given time to plan his answers), and I have no reason to think it is not. Yet another reason to vote third party.
