| 説明 | Full video, more photos, and some notable quotes:We didn’t realize he was going to show up there [audience laughter], so kudos to you guys for arranging a nice surprise like that.He put people’s lives at risks in the long run. I know there’s been a lot of talk by Edward Snowden and journalists who say the things disclosed did not put national security or people at risk. That is categorically not true. They actually do. There’s also an amazing arrogance to the idea that he knows better than the framers of the Constitution how government should work.There are things we need to be transparent about: our authorities, processes, our oversight, who we are. We at the NSA have not done a good job of that, and that’s part of the reason why this has been so sensational. We’re “Never Say Anything”We devote inordinate — I shouldn’t say that, I should say appropriate time and effort to ensure we protect that privacy and beyond that the privacy of citizens around the world, not just Americans. We’re all on the same network. I use a particular Internet email service that is the number-one email service of choice of terrorists. We need to pick that apart and find the information that’s relevant. In doing so, we’re going to necessarily encounter Americans and innocent foreign citizens going about their business. And when you find it, because you’re certain to find it, here’s how to protect it. We have minimization procedures approved by the Attorney General that are constitutionally based. Absolutely folks have the right to privacy.If you’re not connected to an intelligence target, you’re not of interest to us.Q: Where would you place terrorism in terms of threats to Americans overall?A: Terrorism is still number one. We have never been in a time where there are more places where things are going... You have a lot of “arcs of instability” in the world right now. In Syria there’s a civil war and a massive number of foreign fighters flooding in there to learn to be terrorists. These are westerners with passports to European countries or the US. They are learning to do jihad and they have expressed intent to go out and do that in their home countries. Iraq is suffering from a high level of sectarian violence; it’s a breeding ground for violence. In the horn of Africa there’s lots of weak governance, which forms a breeding ground for terrorist activities. Number two is cyberthreat… Destructive attacks concern me the most. In 2012, at Saudi Aramco, a Wiper-style virus took out 35,000 computers. In March 2013, a South Korean attack attributed in the press to North Korea, took out thousands of computers. Those are on the rise; we see people expressing interest in those capabilities.The reason there hasn’t been a major attack in the US since 9/11 is not an accident. That’s hard work we’ve done and folks in the military have done and allies around world have done. You’ve heard the numbers: 54 terrorist attacks were stopped. 25 of them were in Europe, 18 occurred in just three countries, some of them our allies, some of whom are beating the heck out of us over the NSA programs. But that’s not an accident, that’s hard work.In 42 of those events, the PRISM program was hugely relevant and material in contributing to stopping those attacks.These programs have been authorized by two Presidents, two political parties, by Congress twice and by federal judges 16 times. It’s not the NSA running off and doing these things. This is a legitimate activity of the US government, as agreed to by all branches of the government. President Madison would be proud.Q: Did Congress know exactly what you were doing?A: Congress is a big body. In the lower house there are 535 of them and they change out every two years. I would say that Congress members had the opportunity to make themselves aware.This is a really important conversation that impacts not just the NSA or the government, but you and the Internet companies. The issue of privacy and personal data is much bigger than government. So don’t rely on headlines or sound bites, or on one-sided conversations, That’s an idea worth spreading. We wear badges here, and the lanyard of those people who do crypto-analytic work says “look at the data.” So that’s my idea worth spreading: look at the data.rk says “look at the data.” So that’s my idea worth spreading: look at the data.From the transcript, corrected where I could. |
