Systems and institutions can be evil even if every single human involved in them are upstanding citizens of good conscience. I think the general consensus of critics is that most NSA employees are decent human beings who (misguidedly) believe in their mission.

- blahbl4hblahtoo 13y agoMisguided in thinking that a large nation state needs a signals intelligence capability? They aren't the SS. The NSA has overreached because after 9/11 congress demanded that they start overreaching. The AUMF was sweeping in its breadth. They will have to be reigned in...but the idea that what they are doing is "evil"... if we aren't going to hold people accountable for torture it doesn't make sense to call privacy invasion "evil".
