All the NSA people I've talked to think domestic surveillance is anathema.

The (communications) intercepts from NSA were the ultimate proof that an attack had taken place on August 4

The image of NSA has been muddied considerably by this revelation.

Gen. Alexander will have to clean up the mess. We need to know if the money is being properly spent.

It's a form of censorship in its crudest and rudest form.

This isn't the first instance I've run into where intelligence agencies and the Pentagon and other government agencies have used classification to cover up faux pas. It just galled me.

The stuff they pulled should never have been removed. Some of it is mundane and some of it is outright ridiculous.

NSA is guilty of buying a bill of goods from contractors without checking to see if it is feasible. The contractors are guilty of promising the moon and not delivering. And Congress is guilty for failing to oversee it from beginning to end.
