OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR CLAIRE MCCASKILL, CHAIRMAN Senator MCCASKILL. Thank you for being here. I’d like to take just a moment to acknowledge a moment of his- tory here. There is something happening today that has never hap- pened before in the history of the U.S. Senate. What we have today is a woman chairman and a woman ranking member on a sub- committee in Armed Services, and that has never happened before in our country. So, with that, I want to welcome Senator Ayotte to the Senate Armed Services Committee, and this subcommittee in particular. (1) VerDate Aug 31 2005 09:48 Feb 24, 2012 Jkt 000000 PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 6633 Sfmt 6602 Y:\BORAWSKI\DOCS\68086.TXT JUNE PsN: JUNEB 2 She and I are taking on this responsibility with enthusiasm. I’m honored to have the opportunity to do whatever I can to support the military. I will give a very brief opening statement and then turn it over to Senator Ayotte for her opening statement. Then we’ll look for- ward to your testimony today. The Subcommittee on Readiness and Management Support meets this afternoon to hear testimony on fiscal year 2012 budget request for Department of Defense (DOD) Installations and Envi- ronment. At today’s hearing, we will hear from our witnesses on the request for military construction (MILCON) and environmental programs for fiscal year 2012. This is our first subcommittee hearing in the 112th Congress, and I want to welcome all of the members of the subcommittee and say how much I look forward to working with everyone this year. I’d also like to thank our witnesses for rearranging their sched- ules to appear today on such short notice. It is very important for us to have this hearing as early in the congressional budget process as possible so we can have a full and frank discussion of the Presi- dent’s request that informs this year’s Defense authorization bill, and we appreciate your help in enabling us to do that. The subcommittee has scheduled a hearing on the Secretary’s ef- ficiencies initiatives for later this month. As far as I’m concerned, however, every hearing that we hold will be about efficiencies. Earlier this week, the Congressional Budget Office reported that the DOD budget has grown by 75 percent over the last decade. That is the base budget, not including the cost of overseas contin- gency operations. I do not believe there is anything DOD is doing that they cannot do better. I do not believe that there is any part of the budget that can be off limits as we look for potential savings. I will be looking at every area of this subcommittee’s jurisdiction as we attempt to cut duplicative projects and programs, increase management efficiencies, and reduce waste while we stay very fo- cused on maintaining the finest military in the world. Overall, the President’s budget request for MILCON and family housing is $14.7 billion in fiscal year 2012, as compared to a $19.3 billion authorized in last year’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

(+video) - CSMonitor.com The Christian Science Monitor ­ CSMonitor.com What is XKeyscore, and can it 'eavesdrop on everyone, everywhere'? (+video) XKeyscore is apparently a tool the NSA uses to sift through massive amounts of data. Critics say it allows the NSA to dip into people's 'most private thoughts' – a claim key lawmakers reject. This photo shows an aerial view of the NSA's Utah Data Center in Bluffdale, Utah. The long, squat buildings span 1.5 million square feet, and are filled with super­ powered computers designed to store massive amounts of information gathered secretly from phone calls and e­mails. (Rick Bowmer/AP/File) By Mark Clayton, Staff writer / August 1, 2013 at 9:38 pm EDT Top­secret documents leaked to The Guardian newspaper have set off a new round of debate over National Security Agency surveillance of electronic communications, with some cyber experts saying the trove reveals new and more dangerous means of digital snooping, while some members of Congress suggested that interpretation was incorrect. The NSA's collection of "metadata" – basic call logs of phone numbers, time of the call, and duration of calls – is now well­known, with the Senate holding a hearing on the subject this week. But the tools discussed in the new Guardian documents apparently go beyond mere collection, allowing the agency to sift through the www.csmonitor.com/layout/set/print/USA/2013/0801/What-is-XKeyscore-and-can-it-eavesdrop-on-everyone-everywhere-video 1/4 8/3/13 What is XKeyscore, and can it 'eavesdrop on everyone, everywhere'?

    From: Teressa B. Veith October 1, 2013 Hamilton, Illinois Via email [email protected] To: The DNI Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies I should like to quote three men from three documents. While I am just quoting a few salient points I would encourage you to read all three in their entirety. Representative Louie Gohmert from the Congressional Record Volume 159, Number 108 Thursday July 25, 2013 from the middle of page H5079 upto and including most of page H5083: Page H5082: You’ve got to describe with sufficient particularity that people can identify items that you’re demanding to be produced. You can’t just come in and ask for everybody’s phone records in the country. I go back to 2002, when a CIA attorney at one of our judicial conferences Start page H5083: said, Gee, banks have all of your financial information. Why shouldn’t the government? I was aghast and said because the banks can’t come to your home, bust down the door, throw you to the ground, put a boot on your back, and put you in handcuffs and drag you off. But the government can and does. So we’ve got to be very careful to make sure that the government does not overreach what they are allowed to do. Then we find out the NSA has gotten orders so they can get every single call that we have made to somebody. There is no specificity in an order like that. This has to stop. I’ve been surprised. …I said that’s right, that’s what the law allows, but they’re going so far beyond that.

Judson Jennings, Professor of Law Since the birth of the United States of America in 1776, there has been a sense of secrecy that has been cast around particular branches of our government. From the Kennedy assassination to Watergate, there are many instances that make us question our government’s intentions, particularly those branches that are not entirely transparent. The endless growth of technology in the world has only furthered our government’s agenda in keeping tabs on what is happening around the globe on a minute to minute basis. From the Middle East to the Mid-Western United States, the quest for information has been at its absolute highest level since September 11th, 2001. Born in 1952, the National Security Agency has been on the forefront of this race to collect data. Having been given several nicknames and abbreviations, the NSA has also been dubbed “No Such Agency” based on its secretive nature.

ÖRNEĞİ Fatih TÜRK Günümüzde teknolojinin gelişimi ve küreselleşme dünyayı uçtan uca değiştirdi. Toplumlar ve ülkeler birbiri ile etkileşime geçtikçe bireysel özgürlükler ve demokrasi konusunda hassas alanlar giderek artmaktadır. Bu etkileşim ülkelerin güvenliğini ve bireysel özgürlük alanlarınıda etkilemektedir. Bu hızlı değişime karşın ülkeler geçmişin soğuk savaş anlayışı ve güvenlik hassasiyetlerini de aynı zamanda taşımaya devam etmektedirler. Gelişmiş demokrasilere sahip ülkelerin başında gelen Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nde (ABD) mevcut güvenlik ve istihbarat anlayışı, faaliyetleri ve denetimi işte bu çatışmanın uzun sürede meydana geldiği denge üzerine kuruludur. ABD açısından istihbarat teşkilatlanma süreci yeni problemler, hak arayışları, çatışma ve çözümler doğurmaktadır. Tüm bunların ışığında bu tezin temel amacı istihbarat problemlerini ABD istihbarat teşkilatlanma süreci üzerinden analiz edip karşılaşılan problemleri neden sonuç ilişkisi içerisinde tespit etmektir. Bu çalışmada Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nde istihbaratın yönetim modeli, teşkilatlanması ve hukuki alt yapısı incelenmiştir.

Research assembled by Paolo Cirio, 2014-2015. http://paolocirio.net/work/hd-stencils/overexposed Keith Alexander Keith seems excited for this selfie taken by Corrie Becker, a mysterious acquaintance of his whom he shares no apparent social connection with. He has his neck tucked into his collar and an awkward smile plastered across his face. He and Corrie appear to be close and intimate, having fun with the selfie. The location where this photo was taken and how these two met each other is unclear. Corrie stated on her Facebook post, “Look who takes a great #Selfie - General Keith Alexander, the Cowboy of the NSA.” The photo was obtained from Facebook via Corrie Becker's account. Dated May 27th, 2014.1 Keith Brian Alexander served as Director of the National Security Agency (NSA) until 2013 and is now a retired four-star general. He was also Chief of the Central Security Service (CHCSS) and Commander of the U.S. Cyber Command. Alexander held key staff assignments as Deputy Director, Operations Officer, and Executive Officer both in Germany and during the Persian Gulf War in Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm. He also served in Afghanistan on a peacekeeping mission for the Army Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence. In Saudi Arabia he presided over the Navy’s 10th Fleet, the 24th Air Force, and the Second Army. Among the units under his command were the military intelligence teams involved in torture and prisoner abuse at Baghdad’s Abu Ghraib prison.2 Two years later, Donald Rumsfeld appointed Alexander director of the NSA.
