I’ve been kind of hoping to see something like this. It doesn’t really change my opinion about the NSA in general, but it’s useful to remember that the majority of NSA employees are not mustache-twirlingly evil and really do believe that what they’re doing is right.Hell, it’s a huge organization, and one that keeps secrets by definition. Maybe John Gilmore’s particular corner of the NSA actually is run in a conscientious, respectful fashion.
I’m perplexed by your comment. On the one hand it seems like you believe that Gilmore works for the NSA. On the other hand, it’s completely obvious that he doesn’t and I have no idea how you could possibly think that after reading his post.
