It's better to keep the good parts and reform the bad parts than to throw the entire baby out completely.
Let's draw a parallel to something more tangible than the cyberwar we don't see. Recently there was a number of high-profile cases where police got into a clash with unarmed civilians, with disastrous results. Should police be shut down completely? Would you be safe in a city with no police? Many cities in the world have places where the police don't go, and those are dangerous places.
NSA and CIA serve important functions. They just need to be properly balanced.

- LordKano 12y ago--Should police be shut down completely? Sometimes, yes. When the corruption and brutality is so bad that there's no other option. --Would you be safe in a city with no police? In Acapulco, the answer was yes. The police went on strike and it was so much better without them that the people didn't want them back.
- shit_parade 12y agoAre you aware of the recent guardian article about a Chicago police blacksite[0]? Your analogy is inappropriate in the face of systematic torture, killing, and corrupition of law by American institutions. Simplistic analogies will not fix this problem nor do they help the discourse. 0:http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/feb/25/chicago-homan-square-former-justice-officials-call-for-investigation http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/feb/25/chicago-homan...
