Participate in what? The NSA does many different things and has many different positions. Would you hold NSA's janitors responsible as well?
- zentiggr 7y agoStrawman. Obvious from context I'm referring to anyone involved in the SIGINT against CONUS and the Internet, and anything related.
- sdinsn 7y agoNot a strawman- you stated "NSA in the history". Believe it or not employees work on all sorts of projects.
- JohnFen 7y agoSpeaking generally, I view anyone who works for a very problematic company or agency in a worse light for it, regardless of whether they're at the bottom or top of the ladder. Obviously, the higher up the ladder a person, the stronger this effect is. However, that someone is willing to work in any capacity at an organization that behaves badly (in my view) says something about that person.
- sdinsn 7y agoSo your answer is, yes, you'd hold NSA's janitors responsible... I hope you never become an employer!
- JohnFen 7y agoThat's not what I said, but perhaps you have to define what you mean by "hold them responsible". As I interpret that phrase, no, I wouldn't hold them responsible as such, but that they are willing to work there in any capacity says something about them.
