America's Intelligence Transparency Council to meet for the first time … behind closed doors

Who serves whom?
"That enormous loss in trust between the American people and the intelligence services that serve them was in large part responsible for the creation of the new council."
Shouldn't that read "That enormous loss in trust between the American people and the intelligence services they serve"? Not that I'm suggesting the intelligence apparatus has anything at heart save what's best for the people; perish the very thought.

Give 'em a Break
When you've only ever operated as a super-secretive agency where you consider yourself above the law and that everyone is a potential enemy, it's hard to change that momentum.
I'm sure they'll eventually release a report on their planned method to foster transparency to the Senate Intelligence committee, where it will be heavily redacted and ultimately released, begrudgingly, only after several years of denying requests made under the Freedom of Information act.
Of course, during all that time, the NSA, CIA, DHS, etc.. don't actually have to be transparent about anything.

Your Brains will be Wickedly White Washed in Muddied Streams of XSS Consciousness
The working methodology and resultant, for public consumption product of the James "Big Fat Liar" Clapper's, Intelligence Transparency Council would appear to be a bastard clone and drone of Sir John Chilcot's lovechild and Iraq Inquiry, which is being meticulously censored/vetted/reviewed to ensure that half truths prevail, to be spun as actual fact, presumably in order to try and guarantee how the true virtual nature of reality and how future major events are planned and self-actualised for media propagation and presentation is not more generally widely known. ......

To think and imagine that be a possibility nowadays clearly identifies one as a slow learner and/or even a vulnerable society member with acute learning difficulties.

Oh pleeeeassse, down voters, do yourself a big favour and don't identify yourself as a slow learner and/or even a vulnerable society member with acute learning difficulties.

This is a good example of hypocrisy. Clapper lied to Congress while Snowden who leaked the truth and is the champion of transparency is on exile and facing espionage charges. Let's reverse it. Snowden should come back to the US and lead the DNI while Clapper should go to jail for lying to Congress and to the American people under oath.
