Congressmen Say Clapper Lied To Congress, Ask Obama To Remove Him 383
Trailrunner7 writes "A group of six Congressmen have asked President Barack Obama to remove James Clapper as director of national intelligence as a result of his misstatements to Congress about the NSA's dragnet data-collection programs. The group, led by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), said that Clapper's role as DNI 'is incompatible with the goal of restoring trust in our security programs.' Clapper is the former head of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency and has been DNI since 2010. In their letter to Obama, the group of Congressmen calling for his ouster said that he lied to Congress and should no longer be in office. 'The continued role of James Clapper as Director of National Intelligence is incompatible with the goal of restoring trust in our security programs and ensuring the highest level of transparency. Director Clapper continues to hold his position despite lying to Congress, under oath, about the existence of bulk data collection programs in March 2013. Asking Director Clapper, and other federal intelligence officials who misrepresented programs to Congress and the courts, to report to you on needed reforms and the future role of government surveillance is not a credible solution,' the letter from Issa, Ted Poe, Paul Broun, Doug Collins, Walter Jones and Alan Grayson says." "Misstatement," of course, being the favorite euphemism for "lie."

I though it was, "If you like your X, you can keep your X." :)

Yeah, the AK-15 is way more reliable than the AR-74 and has more penetration.
Everyone knows that, just ask Louis Armstrong (the first man on the moon).

Actually, I prefer my Heckler & Koch Brothers MP7, which can penetrate the body armor of Big Oil enemies and also be used for fracking.
It was used by James Earl Ray Jones, who shot MLK and starred in "Conan, the Barbarian" with Lou Ferrigno.

Or the Statler and Waldorf M-76. You can hit a performer from the highest balcony with little effort.
