Let's see, even the left wing media say that Clapper lied to Congress about NSA surveillance:

Similarly, another left-wing rag said Brennan lied to Congress about spying on US Senate staffers:

And we're supposed to be impressed that these two liars got invited to the Aspen Security Forum?  They're a couple of old neocons, in the image of Hillary Clinton and George W. Bush.  Neither saw a war they didn't want to the US to get involved in and carried that neocon POV into the Obama administration, which basically carried over the foreign intervention policies of the W. Bush and Bill Clinton administrations.

Both of them have sweet, high-paying gigs at think tanks that promote war and military spending.  Why should we listen to these two corrupt warmongers?
