The NSA is a disgrace. Budget: [classified]. Number of employees: [classified]. Accountability: only being provided by whistleblowers who are risking their freedom by exposing the actions of the organization. I will never understand why abolishing the NSA is not a talking point during this election race.

That's an awfully defeatist attitude.

Evil but dumb. I guess we can all breathe a collective sigh of relieve.
