KEITH B. ALEXANDER
(Keith Brian Alexander)
This quotation provides insight into the mentality of the senior administrators of NSA. See {637046} for another quotation by Alexander showing the predilection for massive, 100% surveilance.
He was the NSA Director when the agency literally captured data on every phone call in the United States and most internet e-mails and other digital communications. It became a national scandal and debate. There was an opposite point of view of intelligence experts. See {637041} and {637042}.
