FIRST ON CNN: NCTC Director Matt Olsen talks threats

NCTC Director Matt Olsen talked with CNN Intelligence Correspondent Suzanne Kelly on the sidelines of the Aspen Institute Security Forum in the Director's first on camera TV interview since taking the job last fall.
"The job is a fantastic job," said Olsen. "NCTC is a really strong organization and if I had to identify something that is the most gratifying it's basically every day I meet with some incredibly talented analysts and other intelligence professionals who are so motivated by the fact that we have one mission and that's protecting the country from a terrorism attack."
Listen to more of Matt Olsen's interview about the current threats ranging from the fear of a lone shooter to AQIM in Mali.

    The only "mission" they have is to keep the gullible populace in a state of constant fear and xenophobia. A very profitable business these days.
