1. Apparently, the NSA actually broke into google and yahoo's data centers

to steal information.

Stuff like this is what brought on Watergate - though naturally, those who embrace the Former East Germany Social Model will make all kinds of excuses as to why breaking the law in this case is okay, and breaking the law with regard to Watergate was not.

On edit, I guess the NSA made a comment that they actually had a court order to do this. Whatever.

4. Cyber theft. Isn't that what they're pusuing Snowden for? And, prosecuted Manning for?

2. Gonna have to

do more than just defund it. Needs to be dismantled and outlawed.

3. With their inside information re corporate dealings, the NSA can probably self-fund

and have enough left over to buy as many politicans as they want.
