Mr. Binney, thank you for coming here and taking questions. I have been in/around Intel at DIA, Army G6 and others as a civilian for over 15 years.

How much of Government overreach would you attribute to the publics misunderstanding of mission stress and financial disincentives?

For example, I subscribe to the fact that agencies constantly struggle to justify funding and scoop up the latest gagets and programs from vendors to try and keep the cycle going, not necessarily because they "need" the tools and powers they have. That we've reached the ceiling and now are pushing the legal limits to try and carve out space for continuing the spending cycle.

Why do Republicans hate Federal Employees so much? Frozen pay and benefits, line items in bills requiring a reduction in the federal workforce.

I've been with the Defense Department for 15 years, and have deployed to combat zones along side my brothers/sisters in uniform. (Speaking for myself), when Republicans praise DoD, but then lambaste Federal Workers I feel like you are talking out of both sides of your mouth.

Right, but my core question is:

Does the NSA actually think they need to do this to catch bad guys or are they doing it because results=more funding?

This is where I shine! Audrey and Julie Andrews used to compete for many of the same roles, though it was widely known at the time that Julie was the superior singer.

When Audrey landed the leading role in Breakfast at Tiffany's the arrangement of "Moon River," had to be written within a single octave so that Audrey could sing it without having to be dubbed over.
