1. Since Snowden's revelations, we'll always have to assume the worst.
2. Any answers from any of these government agencies must be assumed to be lies (except for admission of guilt, of course) or to be misleading.
So, the circus is almost certainly worth nothing anyway.
- bediger4000 13y agoI heartily endorse items (1) and (2), but I disagree with your conclusion. At the very least, having a major paper put out the denials so publicly will allow folks to match the inevitable Glenn Greenwald or Bart Gellman shocking revelation with the original lame denials. It's like Ben Franklin wrote, everybody's good for something, even if it's only as the "before" exhibit.
