> Blame it on the boogeyman du jour and have the media present it to the masses as ironclad evidence

It says right in the article that the assessment was "issued internally last week and has not been made public". Until it's made public, it's unreasonable to expect them to provide evidence.

I don't trust the NSA either, but come on, be reasonable. If everyone just rambled incoherently, they would overshadow the legitimate complaints.

It has been "made public", since we, the public, are talking about it here. If it was some BS government agency, I'd assume the leak wasn't intentional, but with NSA I choose to assume otherwise, for obvious reasons.

>> that's not their responsibility

Then what the fuck are my taxes paying for? Weaponized zero days that leak out from there on a regular basis? Mass wiretapping? Undermining democratically elected government?
