From Google is encrypting search globally. Thats bad for the NSA and Chinas
censors. By Craig Timberg and Jia Lynn Yang, Published March 12, 2014
The revelations of this past summer underscored our need to strengthen our
networks. Among the many improvements weve made in recent months is to encrypt
Google Search by default around the world, spokeswoman Niki Christoff said in an
e-mailed statement. This builds on our work over the past few years to increase the
number of our services that are encrypted by default and encourage the industry to
adopt stronger security standards.

The NSA has stopped a terrorist and is lawful

Member of ACLU, Geoffrey R. Stone, who was skeptical of the NSA has said
that they have stopped terrorist attacks
From What I told the NSA By Geoffrey R. Stone, published by the Huffington Post
on March 31, 2014
From the outset, I approached my responsibilities as a member of the Review
Group with great skepticism about the NSA. I am a long-time civil libertarian, a
member of the National Advisory Council of the ACLU, and a former Chair of the
Board of the American Constitution Society. To say I was skeptical about the NSA is,
in truth, an understatement. I came away from my work on the Review Group with a
view of the NSA that I found quite surprising. Not only did I find that the NSA had
helped to thwart numerous terrorist plots against the United States and its allies in
the years since 9/11, but I also found that it is an organization that operates with a
high degree of integrity and a deep commitment to the rule of law.

The NSA operates within the bounds of its lawful authority

From What I told the NSA By Geoffrey R. Stone, published by the Huffington Post
on March 31, 2014
The NSA on occasion made mistakes in the implementation of its authorities, but it
invariably reported those mistakes upon discovering them and worked
conscientiously to correct its errors. The Review Group found no evidence that the
NSA had knowingly or intentionally engaged in unlawful or unauthorized activity. To
the contrary, it has put in place carefully-crafted internal proceduresto ensure that it
operates within the bounds of its lawful authority.

. NSA is good a fine Job

NSA did its job, should not be demonized
From What I told the NSA By Geoffrey R. Stone, published by the Huffington Post
on March 31, 2014
It gradually became apparent to me that in the months after Edward Snowden
began releasing information about the government's foreign intelligence surveillance
activities, the NSA was being severely -- and unfairly -- demonized by its critics.
Rather than being a rogue agency that was running amok in disregard of the
Constitution and laws of the United States, the NSA was doing its job.

NSA is open about all of its programs, and are always looking for room to
improve
From What I told the NSA By Geoffrey R. Stone, published by the Huffington Post
on March 31, 2014
Moreover, to the NSA's credit, it was always willing to engage the Review Group in
serious and candid discussions about the merits of its programs, their deficiencies,
and the ways in which those programs could be improved. Unlike some other entities
in the intelligence community and in Congress, the leaders of the NSA were not
reflexively defensive, but were forthright, engaged, and open to often sharp
questions about the nature and implementation of its programs.
