Keith Alexander:

1.) Failed to protect us from 9/11.

2.) Went along with mass surveillance against U.S. civilians, ostensibly to make up for this failure.

3.) Won't go to jail for any of it

Because Americans, deep-down, want it to happen. I brought it up when there was finally proof this was happening and still got blank stares and "naw, that's not happening man" from about 30 people. Most were just silent and rationalizing it in their heads.

I’m sure they brought him in for more pull in their government contracts for AWS. Microsoft Azure ate their lunch recently so hiring someone that has high level connections is a cheap way in for a multibillion dollar deal

Close, but it's more the other way around.

An online retailer obviously has skill sets that cross over to espionage and surveillance.
