I'm pointing out that espionage is a part of real world statecraft and that it's naïve to just rail against the NSA for doing it.
I do believe that there should be consequences for a lot of these actions. I'd just rather people were discussing what we actually know and how things could realistically be improved (by individuals, corporations, and'the government) than just jeering like an angry mob.
