Van Theo,
Dear Sir / Madam,
Since all Eward Snowden leaks the NSA wants to be more transparent, and tell the public more on the working methods of the NSA. So now it's time for some honest answers, and not evasive answers like: These questions are all state secret.
(All responses will be made plubliek)
A)
The NSA is tasked with the global monitoring, collection, decoding, translation and analysis of information and (meta)data for foreign intelligence and counterintelligence purposes, including surveillance of targeted individuals on U.S. soil.
Question: What other countries are precisely monitored? I would like to know exactly which countries these are?
B)
In court director Keith Alexander, claimed to have prevented thirty (or more) attacks sinds 9/11.
Question 1: Why do we hear nothing about these thirty or more attacks in the media?
Question 2: What are the names of the people behind these attacks?
Question 3: What happened to these people?
Question 4: Where are these people now?
Question 5: Do these people have had a lawsuit?
C)
The NSA, CIA, and FBI missed the attack of 9/11. The NSA clames to -Need to know everthing-, and get a annual budget, classified (estimated $10.8 billion, in 2013). Now the NSA knows almost everything, and still again the electronic dragnet of the NSA's missed the terrorist attack in Boston this year. For me this only shows that you cannot prevent
a terrorist attact, and only wast billons of money that the US could spent on other things, and I do not even talk about people's privacy.
Question: Where did the NSA, CIA and FBI fail again?
Question: Why can't you say, sorry we can't protect you against everything?
D)
The NSA says 'We collect only metadata to respect people's privacy'. But this is not thrue.
You give this metadata to the CIA, and FBI, that investigate this metadata, and after they investigate this metadate, they have a complete picture of a person.
Question: So why do you still say metadata is the most pure form to protect people's privacy? If metadata is not gonna proccesed further then it could no harm, but that is
not they way it works.
E) Terrorist 'Bin Laden' is shot in a bunker undergrond, why did the 'Swatteam' not used
rubber bullets, smoke or flashbangs to get him out? I think also a terrorist needs a fair and public trial where he can defend himself for the whole world. This way of killing people (terrorist) is just to easy. And I'm not even talking about those people that do not believe that Bin Laden was behind the attacks. The same for killing people with drones. Nobody can defend themself by this way.
Question: What do you have to say about this all? The NSA have also a role in this.
Questions about the Utah Data Center
There are lots of websites about the new Utah Data Center, and many figures about the storage cappaciteit and costs. Whether this information is correct, no one knows, so therefore some questions.
A) On what date must the Utah Data Center be operational?
B) Exactly what data 'or metadata' is stored in the Utah Data Center?
C) The collected data 'or metadata' of individuals, or targeted individuals, or countries
for how long is that gonna be stored in the Utuh Data Center?
D) How many hard drives are located in the data center?
E) What is the volulme of all hard drives in the data center? In exabytes or higher?
F) If the NSA does not store it on harddrives, on what other media is it stored then?
G) What exactly did the Utah Data Center cost?
H) How many people gonna work at the data center?
