Jim Clapper at Aspen: US Intelligence Update — Is Andrea Mitchell an Agent of a Foreign Power?
ROBERT STEELE: Generally speaking this is a really rotten interview by a journalist with a reputation who is lacking in substance.It is not worth the hour it takes to watch it. Andrea Mitchell knows nothing about the craft of intelligence and her questions read like a second-grader primer on the idiot media, not a slate of questions suitable for what is supposed to be an audience of engaged informed well-off citizens.
The two gems: 23% of the IC budget is spent on IT, most of that on contractors; and we are deeply deeply dependent on and vulnerable in space, not just for communications and intelligence, but for weather, geospatial positioning and hence mobility, and more.
