One last time.
> Since at least May 2016, the surveillance agency had featured honesty as the first of four “core values” listed on NSA.gov, alongside “respect for the law,” “integrity,” and “transparency.” The agency vowed on the site to “be truthful with each other.”
Also, I'm thinking they should probably remove all of these, if they were truly honest with us. Respect for the law? Come on. They've been constantly misinterpreting what the surveillance laws actually allow them to do. And there's certainly no respect for the Constitution, because I don't think the Fourth Amendment means much to them anymore - even to the FBI, considering they can now get Americans's communications content without a warrant.
- zeristor 9y agoLogically they only have to remove "honesty"
- gt_ 9y agoIs “honest” even enough or is the proper claim “literally honest”?
- logfromblammo 9y agoLogically, if they removed "honesty" from their core values, there would be no need to delete it from their statement of core values.
- jjoonathan 9y agoI feel like removing it completely would fail to capture the partial truth. Perhaps replace "respect for law" with "respect for authority"?
- brokenmachine 9y agoThey have removed honesty. After that point it doesn't really matter what's written - it all lacks honesty.
