At a House Intelligence Committee hearing just a month ago on highly
controversial National Security Agency surveillance issues,
administration officials were well treated by both Republicans and
Democrats. Wednesday’s return trip to Capitol Hill was decidedly
different.
For James Cole, John Inglis and Robert Litt, the latest session with Congress was a lesson in the dangers of using the same comments twice before highly different audiences. What worked in the House Intelligence Committee wasn’t working Wednesday before the House Judiciary Committee.
“We are constantly seeking to achieve the right balance between the protection of national security and the protection of privacy and civil liberties,” said Cole, the No. 2 official at the Justice Department.
