Our Fearless Leader Obama unveils new plan to 'increase transparency' and 'build greater confidence' in government's mass surveillance program

Image
President Barack Obama unveiled new efforts to increase transparency and "build greater confidence" about the government's controversial surveillance efforts, acknowledging that the public's trust has been shaken after former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden leaked details about the programs.

"It's not enough for me as president to have confidence in these programs," Obama declared at a White House news conference. "The American people have to have confidence as well."

Among other things, Obama called for the creation of an outside task force to advise his administration on how to balance civil liberties and security issues. He also said he had directed the intelligence community to make public as much information about the spying programs as possible and directed the NSA to create a website that would be a "hub" for that information.

Comment: These "new efforts to increase transparency and build greater confidence" are to be seen in the stunt the US government pulled last week by shutting down its embassies in a swathe of predominantly Muslim countries, massively stepping up its bombing campaigns in several of them, and terrorising its citizens from straying beyond US borders.
