Ex-federal official calls U.S. classification system ‘dysfunctional’ - The Washington Post

Ex-federal official calls U.S. classification system ‘dysfunctional’ - The Washington Post: The now-declassified two-page memo is titled “What a Wonderful Success,” and it contains praise from Gen. Keith B. Alexander, director of the NSA, for agency employees involved in the program. Two paragraphs were marked “secret.” One of them praised the merits of the program and spoke of getting members of Congress to see how it worked. In the other, a team member was lauded for “an excellent job” of briefing Alexander on the program.
