Libtech, A friend passed along little noticed comments by Gen. Hayden in June, which I would suggest are the most direct elaboration on the differences between the American security apparatus and piracy development efforts. The actual interview is long, but there is one statement in particular that would serve everyone to read and share wherein Hayden speaks openly on the intelligence services trying to crack anonymity and criticizes Clinton for supporting such projects.
Rough Transcript: *"We need to pull the rest of American thinking into this in a relevant way. Secretary Clinton gave two speeches on cyber stuff while she was secretary. And if you're you know you think of the world as security and liberty she broke left literally both times in both of her speeches she came down on on cyber freedom. Society at the same time cyber communities out there are trying to crack the nut on anonymity on the net because you realize that's the root of many many dangers out there as cyber communities just chugging away at that. The secretary of state is laundering money through NGOs to populate software throughout the Arab world to prevent the people in the Arab street from being tracked by their government. Alright so on the one hand we're fighting anonymity on the other hand we're chucking products out there to protect anonymity on the net."* Video: http://youtu.be/9lizGN981Rw Link: http://b.averysmallbird.com/entries/hayden-comments Cordially, Collin -- *Collin David Anderson* averysmallbird.com | @cda | Washington, D.C.
