Have the champions of the NSA/Obama, and the detractors of Snowden apologized yet?

60. Mistakes occur in every law enforcement agency. This was an internal audit, too.

I doubt any court would find mistakes to be illegal, especially when it was the NSA that brought it to the court's attention in the first place.

If they haven't put into place protections to avoid this in the future, then I'd say they are negligent and should have to pay a price. And we don't really know what types of protections they have in place. Partly that's because of the clandestine nature of the agency. I'm not sure how you can continue to be secretive and transparent at the same time. It's always a balancing act.

For other, more egregious violations, also identified by the NSA's internal audit, one would hope those individuals have been fired or punished in some manner. But again, these kind of things happen in every law enforcement agency. What matters is how the NSA deals with it when it occurs.
