General Alexander, head of the NSA, will be testifying in an open session of the house Intelligence Committee this week.  The following are some suggested questions for the good general:

Question 1 -General, exactly what percentage of your agencies requests for warrants to target American citizens are turned down by the FISA courts?

Question 2 – General, please describe to the committee the programs under which the National Security Agency gathers information about the telephonic communications and Internet activities of  American citizens.

Question 2 – General, please describe to us the procedures the NSA has put in place to make it impossible for someone to abuse this data that you’ve put into a conveniently indexed database.

Question 3 – Oh, it’s quite possible that this data could be abused by someone in your organization to target an American citizen for personal or political reasons?

Question 4 – Have you lost your damned mind?

Question 5 – General, do you understand your rights under Article 31 of the UCMJ?

Question 6 – Which one of those yokels sitting next to you is your attorney?

Oh, and “Silently We Defend“, General. Have a nice day.
