Mike Rogers Attacks Glenn Greenwald For NSA Expose: He Doesnt Have A Clue How This Thing Works
Michigan Representative Mike Rogers, the Chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, joined a chorus of lawmakers and intelligence officials in condemning Glenn Greenwalds multiple revelations of government surveillance programs, saying Greenwald and his source released information that could be dangerous to national security, and should be prosecuted.
Someone did not have authorization to release this information, Rogers said. Why thats so important is they didnt have of all of the information. I know your reporter that you interviewed, Greenwald, says that hes got it all and now is an expert on the program. He doesnt have a clue how this thing works, and neither did the person who released just enough information to literally be dangerous.
Theres other methods, Rogers said of the whistleblower. He can come to the committees if he has concerns. We have IGs they can go to in a classified way, if they have concerns. Taking a very sensitive, classified program, that targets foreign persons on foreign lands, and putting just enough out there to be dangerous, is dangerous to us, its dangerous for our national security, and violates the oath which that person took. I absolutely think they should be prosecuted.
