Same way a cop who murder's someone in the line of duty doesn't mean the department murdered someone. That part makes sense. The question(as with cops), is what happened to the people who did violate the rules? It's unlikely they were fired or prosecuted, hopefully they were demoted and lost access to the system. NSA is loath to fire people(and likely revoke their clearance if it's for cause) with serious classified knowledge since getting a comparable paying job with a revoked clearance and a large gap on your resume would be very hard. The worry is they would simply sell knowledge to a foreign government.
