Win-Win

Dear NSA

Lets take your supercomputers, now used to surveil pretty much everyone on the planet - guilty or not - as if straight out of some Orwellian nightmare - and instead use them to find the root causes of terrorism and fix them.
There's a brand new supercomputer, some 100,000 square feet large, in your facility in Utah.
Now that's a lot of computer.
So lets just switch it over and ask it how best to end this perpetual nightmare. Solve for the root causes of terrorism, best ways to fix them, and watch the threat melt away over the next generations - current terrorists probably lost causes.
Over the long run we'd be a whole safer than anything you might accomplish with your current strategies, and just think - you'd actually welcome the press leaks. 
Win-Win

P.S. Oh and when you're done how about applying your billions and your computers in finding a cure for cancer.

One Thing Right

I said I thought he was a sociopath.
They said, no, no - he's not smart enough.
But must you be smart to be sociopathic?
imagine what you could accomplish unencumbered with a conscience.

He would indeed be surprised at how transparent he really is
Only another narcissist would buy into his persona - making him a fine early warning system
Only problem is - he goes where his type thrives - the alarms then - deafening

Well at least he loves his family.
Or at least he makes very sure you think he does.
Claims credit for others labors and ideas.
Has never had, never will have, an original thought.

In his mind perhaps he'll be president someday.
Or at least chief of some power structure.
More likely he'll live out his pathetic fantasies only in his mind.
One thing is sure - deep down he will forever loath himself.
At least he's got one thing right.
