The US suffered a cyberattack that was only possible due to NSA's subversion of Juniper Systems.
This could well and truly be considered 'giving aid / comfort to enemies of the USA' ..
- freddie_mercury 7y agoThat could not "well and truly" be considered that. There is a very clear legal definition of what "enemies of the US" means: countries that the Congress of the United States has declared war on. I don't know why people are so hung up on trying to come up with bizarre explanations for why "treason" must be the right word here. It isn't and the explanations aren't even especially arcane. Just pick a different word already.
- fit2rule 7y agoAfghani hackers can easily exploit Juniper systems. As can Iraq, Iran, and North Korean hackers. So, whatever your particular issue is with 'treason', the fact that the NSA has subverted our - the publics - technology, and in so doing allowed us to be susceptible to real and true danger from 'our enemies', means that yes: the NSA IS FUCKING TREASONOUS.
