> I bet he seriously regrets that now but, at the time, there was no hint that this was bad. Before the recent whistleblower revelations (2013 - present), there was very little evidence that the NSA was overwhelmingly nefarious. If they had given me a job offer back in the day, I probably would have accepted it. Nowadays, even associating with them can kill your brand (for good reason) and I'll give them a blanket refusal. This conspiracy theory / slander towards ekr seems ridiculous. Guilt by association doesn't apply here.
