Posted by: thepinetree on 12/18/2013 09:26 PM
Washington, DC...Today, President Obama met with his Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies -- Richard Clarke, Michael Morell, Geoffrey Stone, Cass Sunstein and Peter Swire -- to discuss the report they submitted to the President on December 13.

Posted by: thepinetree on 12/14/2013 07:56 AM
