Glenn
Greenwald vs Former GCHQ Director David
Omand on ISC Surveillance Report
Video - Newsnight
The Intelligence and Security Committee of
the UK Parliament (ISC) issued a lengthy
report on the surveillance practices of GCHQ.
Invoking the now-standard Orwellian tactic
of claiming that “bulk collection” is not
“mass surveillance,” the Committee
predictably cleared GCHQ of illegality, but
it did announce that it has “serious
concerns” over the agency’s lack of
transparency and oversight.
It is unacceptable to slander, smear or engage in personal attacks on authors of articles posted on ICH.
Those engaging in that behavior will be banned from the comment section.
