the evidence points otherwise. you can see the compartmentalization at work in the leaks, in the way the technology is structured, in the constraints that some systems exhibit while others do not.
this is an interesting reverse engineering exercise, you should try it :)
What I said is still true. Even if 'compartamentallized', the NSA is nothing but its employees. But fine, your point is that only 'some' people are doing 'bad' things there? That whoever cleans bathrooms at the NSA doesn't know what the top criminals are planning and doing? Mostly true, but I don't think too relevant. (even people who clean bathrooms at the NSA could be working somewhere else)
Ah, yes, this team of murderers is bad 'as a team', but when you look at each individual murderer, individually they are anarcho-libertarian-pacifists who live in a monastery in tibet.
i like some of their old work protecting things, rather than breaking them.
Protect what from whom?
(are you really equating writing automated fuzzers with targeted murder by sniper fire? (drone snipers count))
I'm saying that the members of the military are morally responsible for the crimes of the military. You might argue that some members are more responsible than others, but fact is, they all 'believe' in the same core murderous principles.
