The 2008 financial crisis also happened in rather recent times and was possible the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. How should people be positive to agencies like NSA when they are messing around in the bank systems that have such a large impact of peoples lives? Imagine if we had this news article in 2008 and instead of NSA and the middle east banks it was some hostile country to the USA sitting there in the US bank system. Would we have given them the benefit of the doubt?
