You can be a valuable asset and still clearly be working for a defense company or a government agency. Hell, when I left college I was two steps away from joining Raytheon (big nasty defense company that makes thing that go boom) because I really wanted food in my belly. I am pretty sure if I had gone down that path my tastes would be more or less unchanged, except I would be better at rationalizing how the government pouring gobs of money into the “defense” industry is a great thing.
Every time there is a Snowden article TGA expresses his skepticism that Snowden is a nice guy, argues the NSA know best, that it couldn’t be as bad as it sounds, etc. Now the NSA is caught with their pants between their ankles having poisoned RSA and endangering public security. The Snowden trove has yet to be shown even once to produce false data, and it has caught tens (hundreds?) of provably nasty things the NSA has done. The government has directly confirmed a nearly all of the leaks. It is pretty unambiguous. How the bloody fuck you can question it after the dozens of proven true leaks is pretty mystifying. I’m not accusing him of astroturfing. I am accusing him of massive cognitive dissonance that generally only comes from working directly in the field.
Tell me I’m wrong if I am wrong, but I really doubt it.
