The majority of that document you link to is blacked out. Which part of it exactly are you referring to when you say it's clear that the NSA was in the clear on this?



of course the NSA would not hide something that makes them look bad and show us what makes them look good... /s


That doesn’t mean you fill in the blanks yourself and go around pretending that was actually said..


No, by now we know what they do. Every time classified material is released through outside channels, it looks worse for them. At this time we'd have to be chumps to give them the benefit of the doubt.

That’s fine and well but I’m going to have to repeat myself.

Yeah, keep repeating yourself (I guess you have to?), despite all experience to the contrary, preferably with eyes closed and fingers in ears...


assuming is fine, lying about what you find is not.


What lies have I told ITT?


> we'd have to be chumps to give them the benefit of the doubt
