Right now, I'd say they are looking pretty good: they hacked into the phone of a terrorist without breaking any laws.

- daxfohl 11y agoOf course it makes them look bad to anyone who thinks their looking good looks bad.
- mcphage 11y agoIf they had just hacked into the phone, and said "hey we hacked into the terrorist's phone", I think they'd look pretty good. They'd be competent, and did what they needed to do. But that's not what they were going for; they over-reached, and then weakly backed off. That's what doesn't look good.
