C-SPAN Caller, NSA Insider Threat and Contractor Clearances

A caller on C-SPAN's Washington Journal, claiming high-level security clearance, defends General Keith Alexander and dismisses concerns about government surveillance as "chitchat." The segment transitions into a discussion on the "insider threat" posed by contractors like Edward Snowden. Speculation arises that the military-industrial complex will use the Snowden leak to justify shifting from private contractors back to full-time government employees to secure more funding.
