Rogers lashes out at tech firms on surveillance stance
Found on Politico on Friday, 13 June 2014
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) tore into major U.S. tech firms Wednesday for their opposition to a House surveillance reform bill that many internet industry leaders have denounced as too weak.
"They say, 'Well, we have to do this because we're tyring to make sure we don’t lose our European business.' I don't know about the rest of you but that offends me form the words 'European business,'" Rogers said.
Rogers was born a few centuries too late. This has nothing to do with so-called patriotism; only with the fact that the spies have gone too far and are now facing the backlash.
