Re: Don't be daft. They want you to use Tor.
The heads of Intelligence agencies are always retired senior officers from the various military branches. The reason is that they would already have the appropriate security clearances, know what military personnel in the field need in terms of intel, have strong relationships with those who will be acting on the intelligence, and are conditioned to follow whatever the President and their cronies say and thus tow the party line.
This is how its always been, and how it will always be...
