One hand doesn't know what the other hand is doing.

Just because the DOD bombs civilians with drones in far off doesn't mean we should hold the National Park Service in the same light.

The National Park Service isn't a division of the DOD.

They're all a part of the US government.

So all US government agencies are in effect one? What am I to make of the GAO constantly finding fraud and waste? A clever subterfuge?

You're totally missing my point.

My orignal response was to someone wondering why the NSA can violate constitutional rights while at the same time open sourcing technologies for enhanced securities. My example of the DOD vs the NPS was to show that entities within the same organizational structure can have opposed goals.
