So you just have the word of one activist? Sorry, that's not enough evidence for me to believe it. If the NSA wanted to unlock a random journalist's phone, they would be able to hack it.

It also links to another similar account a few days before that. And why would Egyptian activists make that up?

Plus, even if the NSA isn't regularly doing the kidnapping, torture, and killing themselves, they certainly help our other organizations do these things. Things like the disposition matrix, black sites, and locally with parallel construction all rely on their surveillance.

How did she know he worked for NSA? Did she have any way to verify he was an American or worked for the NSA? Do you think the NSA hires people who specialize in HUMINT? Why would he tell her he works for the NSA?

Too many unanswered questions. It's more likely she made it up because it gets people angry and that's what activists need to do.

If you have problems with other parts of our government, by all means criticize them and be an activist. Speak your mind and vote. Making up stuff about the NSA is intellectually lazy.

I will admit to being wrong on this one, as Egypt seems to have an NSA as well. A mistake, not a fabrication.

Personally, I agree with the other poster and view the NSA's collaboration as enough evidence, but had remembered seeing the Egypt thing last year.

Ah, I also failed to consider that Egypt had an agency named NSA. I feel dumb now.

One popular quote by Upton Sinclair comes to me mind.
