- acdha 3y agoLeaving out the extortion part makes it very hard to read your comment as being made in good faith.
- hammock 3y agoLearn about Qwest if you think NSA doesn't also extort to get what they want: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2007/10/qwest-ceo-nsa-punished-qwest-refusing-participate-illegal-surveillance-pre-9-11 https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2007/10/qwest-ceo-nsa-punished...
- acdha 3y agoOh, I remember when that first came out. I’m not defending the NSA but criticizing the idea that it’s somehow unfair for some dude to go to jail for trying to extort his former employer. The NSA misconduct is a much less clear-cut question of Congressional approval and oversight - similar to how it’s not as simple as a murder charge when a soldier is accused of a war crime.
