It's more like a Mafia Family, in the Tony Soprano sense of the word.
Actually, the tone of "Weather This Storm" letter sounds more like a radio broadcast, live, from the Führer's Bunker in Berlin, in late April 1945.
Maybe the NSA has some Wunderwaffen in their pockets, like V-3s and V-4s that will ensure their victory in their quest to destroy Americans' trust in their government, and rid the land of the yoke of that pesky Constitution and Bill of Rights.
. . . and they would have succeeded, if it wasn't for you meddling kids of Slashdot . . .

I guess that makes them Big Brother in law.
I prefer the term "Big Sister" -- Think about it: Who's more likely to keep a bunch of detailed records of all goings on, then get pissed off and throw a fit when someone leaks her diary?

As a contractor with them I'd have more trust in their words if the letter hadn't been waiting for me on my favorite table at the coffee shop I frequent on my days off...

I hope that there are lots more courageous NSA employees and contractors who will stand up and be whistleblowers.
They're probably our last best hope to turn back this police state.
Yeah, I'll believe all that (Score:5, Funny)
