I'm not saying I trust it to police itself. I'm trying to suggest that the environment in which NSA analysts work does have a (positive) material effect on their behavior. Non-systemic transgressions are not common. When Snowden said he was able to check Obama's email, that angle was lost.

Now, systemic problems are a different issue. But the article we're all talking about here is written by an analyst from his own perspective.
