When NSA recruiters went to the University of Wisconsin earlier this week to pitch language students on working for the agency, they got more than they bargained for.
The informed students turned the question-and-answer session into a hearing. On trial were the NSA's lies, their legality, and how they define -adversary-.
The students recorded audio of the exchange on an iPhone proving that the language-analyst NSA recruiters were left tongue-tied.
-I'm surprised that for language analysts you're incredibly imprecise with your language,- grad student Madiha Tahir charged when they failed to define what constitutes an adversary.
-What you're selling us is untrue- she added. -We also know that the NSA took down brochures and fact sheets after the Snowden revelations because those fact sheets had severe inaccuracies and untruths in them -- so how are we supposed to believe what you're saying?-
Another student directly challenged the NSA's morality for using the -globe as their playground- and then partying at the office with co-workers. She then challenges them to become whistleblowers because the truth will ultimately prevail.

“NSA recruiters were left tongue-tied.”
Kevin’s Law:
Half of every graduating class, graduates at the bottom. Those are the ones that go into government.
We have no longer our best and brightest in the hallowed halls of power.
It is worrisome, that they can’t attract the best and brightest this way, and the skills that they need aren’t very common.
They may “go deaf” in a completely unexpected way, which in this world is not going to be a good development. It’s going to be a long, long time before computers can do everything and, of course, someone has to develop the information sieves for the analysts.
Just that they would be desperate enough to go to Mad Town is in itself worrisome.
“We have no longer our best and brightest in the hallowed halls of power.”
When did we ?? 200 years ago? And then, only in passing as they would have been citizen-legislators and there were no vast bureaucracies employing tens and hundreds of thousands.
Freedom is hard wired into every American. It’s a big part of what makes us what we are and tampering with it won’t help you win any popularity contests.
When the USA filed bankruptcy in the 30’s it all went to hell.
What if a blind pig finds a stopped clock?
did you ever think you would applaud a student named Madiha Tahir’s attacking NSA recruiters?

From the information below this was a session for HIGH SCHOOL students. AT least 2 of those high school students participated in the grilling of the recruiters.
On the last link there is a transcript of the audio.

I am spending my summer learning a language.

a local high school teacher had thought it was good to bring 5 of his students to the session

I ended up asking them whether being a liar was a qualification for the NSA because:

Reread your first linked story. Someone brought five high school students to a recruiting session for graduate students.
I have no problem with NSA surveilling Germany or other ‘allied’ countries. Countries always have and always will spy on each other. It’s the USA spying on ALL its own citizens because we refuse to profile that I find issue with.
Agreed ! absolutely!
The NSA should not be spying on Americans.
What is amazing is that these students were aware of things and able to use language to hold these recruiters at bay.

Student B: Is that what Clapper was doing when he perjured himself in front of Congress? Was he giving accurate information when he said we do not collect any intelligence on the US citizens that it’s only occasionally unintentionally or was he perjuring himself when he made a statement before Congress under oath that he later declared to be erroneous or at least, untruthful the least truthful answer? How do you feel personally having a boss whose comfortable perjuring himself in front of Congress?

And the ones they send out on recruiting trips are far from the shiniest pennies in the roll. These are probably low level know-nothing flunkies.
I would not work for an organization that violates the rights and dignity of innocent Americans in the name of terrorism or Islam.
We now know the government uses it’s power for political suppression and harassment (IRS).
We know the DHS has named the Left’s political and social enemies as domestic terrorists.
We know the DOD is harassing Christian in the name of Islam and we know the DOD ran civil war games using the Tea Party as a target.
We know the TSA is harassing, molesting and bullying innocent people at the airports in the name of terrorism.
NSA gives those treasonous, harassing and corrupt agencies data to harm their political and social enemies. I would have nothing to do with any of these agencies unless they were seriously reformed and the corrupt officials, fired.
I have never seen our government so immoral and corrupt.
Bump for later
