“Exactly,” responded Alexander. “We stand for freedom.”
“Bullshit!” McCoy shouted.
“Not bad,” Alexander said, as applause broke out in the crowd.
[...]
“Read the constitution!” shouted McCoy in one last heckle.
“I have. So should you,” responded Alexander to another round of applause.
It has been assumed that the problem concerned the electronic surveillance of Americans, but in an interview published 13 January 2006 on the reasononline web site,[1] Tice said "there's no way the programs I want to talk to Congress about should be public ever, unless maybe in 200 years they want to declassify them. You should never learn about it; no one at the Times should ever learn about these things. But that same mechanism that allows you to have a program like this at an extremely high, sensitive classification level could also be used to mask illegality, like spying on Americans."[2]
The fact that Alexander bothered to show up is kind of incredible. How disgusting. The fact that Blackhat accommodated him is even more disgusting. I think the time for public dialog with this son of a bitch is long past, no?
I don't go to conferences, but if I did, DEFCON has the right idea...

Thanks. So many holes on his speech. Including the Metadata record, how it does not have the record, but they can label the call with its description (wonder how they know the context without listening), and how in his example the call they were intercepting talked about terrorism.
i would like to offer Mr. Barrack my understanding if he would step forward and explain exactly what is going on...
what good could you be doing (and by what means), such that it needs to be kept secret for the next 200 years?
If letting people know that you killed a bunch of civilians counts as aiding the enemy... then perhaps killing civilians in itself is aiding the enemy? if not just being the enemy...

Obviously you should stop trying to fit in here and stay on /g/.

In 1900, in the Paris conference of the International Congress of Mathematicians, David Hilbert challenged the mathematical community with his famous Hilbert's problems, a list of 23 unsolved fundamental questions which mathematicians should attack during the coming century. The first of these, a problem of set theory, was the continuum hypothesis introduced by Cantor in 1878, and in the course of its statement Hilbert mentioned also the need to prove the well-ordering theorem.
