President Obama Defends NSA Director Says “He Should Have Been Careful”

US president Obama sensitively defended the Director of Intelligence James Clapper, accused of lying to Congress about the NSA’s Spying program. President said last Friday that Clapper should have been more careful because when he was in the meeting with the Senate panel, he was denying to collecting Information of millions of people around the world. As of NSA was being accused of spying of people and due to this it totally vanished the reputation in the industry. Clapper already apologized to Senate panel for his “clearly erroneous” statement. The apology that clapper made, is not stopping critics like Sen Rand Paul demanding his resignation from the post. No matter how much he deny, not having any program but it has proved by the NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. The documents that he shows last year are the proof of NSA Scandals, like paying RSA to backdoor the encryption method.


Obama SaidI think that Jim Clapper himself would acknowledge, and has acknowledged, that he should have been more careful about how he responded, the president told CNN’s Jake Tapper. His concern was that he had a classified program that he couldn’t talk about and he was in an open hearing in which he was asked, he was prompted to disclose a program, and so he felt that he was caught between a rock and a hard place. What's clear is that we are going to have to do a better job of being transparent about what we do, to have a robust public debate about what we do.


Support to put Clapper on a trial is getting messy, which will totally ruin the environment to pass any congressional sections. This will not be good legacy to future intelligence agencies, that they will make any statement they want because they know they wouldn't get caught

Here is the video of his clerification
