> Then I don't feel sorry for him. I guess I never thought of it being about feeling sorry for him. It was about the NSA using black mail to get CEOs to do what they want. Allowing CEOs to get away with crimes such as insider trading as long as they did what the NSA wanted. If I try to imagine the consequences of this it includes promoting corruption at the CEO level down in the industries that the NSA deals with. The long term effects of this are certainly negative and hard to quantify. Now are the negative consequences out weighed by the benefit that the NSA receives and passes on to the USA then to the world? I do not know, I am not familiar enough with that arena, it is far from an obvious win from where I am sitting however.
