Oct. 28, 2013 - PPM - Spy Novice

This week's PET PEEVE MONDAY (PPM) is the National Security Administration (NSA) wire tapping scandal.

Obama came out on Monday and said he had "No Idea" that the NSA was monitoring calls of over 25 foreign leaders.

I don't know what is more disturbing.

Is it that Obama knew that the NSA was wire tapping other foreign leaders and denied it, or that he DID NOT KNOW?

Obama is either incompetent and not in charge, or is outright lying.

I have no problem with wire taps. Spying on the enemy goes as far back as Cain and Abel. There was spying in every war ever fought and for every war that was avoided. There have been movies made on how we broke the Japanese/German codes that were transmitted in World War II. It expedited our victory.

How is WWII intelligence gathering different than wiretapping emails or phone calls? Wire tapping is just the latest technology.

What is PEEVING me, is that our Chief Executive is not a LEADER.

I would have preferred that Obama responded when asked about listening in on our allies and enemies phone calls with a "Oh, Yeah. So what?

Everyone does it. We got sloppy and got exposed by outsourcing our National Security to the low cost provider (i.e. Snowden).

Own up. Admit to it. Move on. Become sneakier. and stop PEEVING me. ARE YOU LISTENING?
