Par Ben Resnik<\/p>

Cela semblait \u00eatre une r\u00e9ussite pour l'activisme populaire : apr\u00e8s une temp\u00eate publique, le directeur du renseignement James Clapper a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9mu de s'excuser<\/a> for \"clearly erroneous\" answers he gave to Congress about the extent of government surveillance on American soil. It felt good -- here was the leader of America's outsized security complex, caught misleading the public and embarrassed into admitting his error to the people and their watchful representatives.<\/p>

But when you get down to it, nothing really has changed. Clapper's statement remains in the record of the Senate Intelligence Committee; we don't know if it was a calculated lie or an innocent mistake. Should Clapper be congratulated for correcting himself or prosecuted for lying to Congress? His apology, without further action, is a hollow half-measure, and if the people who demanded action stop there to pat themselves on the back their outrage will have been wasted.<\/p>

The evidence at hand against Director Clapper is damning. The wording of the question, whether the NSA collects \"any type of data at all on millions, or hundreds of millions of Americans,\" was crystal clear and provided to Clapper un jour \u00e0 l'avance<\/a> pour s'assurer qu'il entrait dans la salle d'audience en pleine connaissance de ce qui allait lui \u00eatre demand\u00e9. Mais il a quand m\u00eame donn\u00e9 une fausse r\u00e9ponse.<\/p>

Peut-\u00eatre que Clapper peut expliquer tout cela, mais une simple lettre d\u2019excuses ne suffit pas \u00e0 le sortir de l\u2019impasse. Les revendications de Common Cause<\/a> and other organizations for a congressional investigation into Clapper's misleading statements are as valid today as they were before his apology. If lawmakers are serious about their oversight responsibilities, they'll call Clapper back to the hearing room, question him in detail and then decide whether he gets the benefit of the doubt.<\/p>"}}]},"yoast_head":"\nAn Apology Doesn’t Forgive Perjury -
