Hey Ed & Jameel.

Developments re: section 215 of the Patriot Act (Appeal Court Ruling + yesterday in the senate) sure are encouraging - (btw: You built THAT, Mr. Snowden) - but I recall quite a few whistleblowers saying, that EO 12333 is even worse/more intrusive - so in your opinion, is 215 making us all forget about 12333? Or will we be able to use a (potential) 215-victory to also kill 12333?

Thanks for everything. Peter / Denmark

Hey Barrett

Great to see you here. Also: thanks for everything you've done.

Hey Bill & Kirk

Peter from Denmark, here. Hope all's well with you guys.

Question: considering that in almost every terror-attack, it turns out that at least one of the perpetrators were known to authorities in advance, shouldn't we demand some kind of audit of what the intelligence agencies/govts knew (or should've known), but failed to act upon?

Link to the Consortium News article, mentioned in Bill's reply: https://consortiumnews.com/2016/12/12/us-intel-vets-dispute-russia-hacking-claims/

Hey; yeah. I don't really know of any other business, in which failure is rewarded with tons of money.

Who would you suggest (in an ideal world) should do the audits? IC is quite good at hiding stuff from oversight committees etc.
