7. "the senators claimed they could not publicly identify the allegedly misleading section or sections"

However, in a demonstration of the intense secrecy surrounding NSA surveillance even after Edward Snowden's revelations, the senators claimed they could not publicly identify the allegedly misleading section or sections of a factsheet without compromising classified information.


As long as they keep playing this "it's all a deep dark secret" game, they've lost me. I feel no loyalty whatsoever to any surveillance police state even if I'm living in it. Whenever I hear "it's a secret," I now assume the only reason is they fear the public's (and the world's) revulsion.
