> I then show public examples of the CIA not only using hacking tools against Americans, but against the very oversight framework that's supposed to keep them in check. Again, you're not arguing that the possession of the tools, which this article presents, is the bad thing. Your issue seems to be with the hacking of congressional computers, which I agree, is a bad thing. The scope of this article (and the previous leak) is showcasing the tools and abilities of the CIA. I argue that we want the CIA, the espionage arm of the US government, to have the ability/tools to conduct espionage. Now how they apply those abilities/tools is up for debate and scrutany. Good god people, this is literally the anti-encryption argument, with the tables flipped.
