that's the way the cookie crumbles.

So you're definitely trolling. I really doubt you'll be saying the same thing once your job is lost due to lost business.

Those who are were going to do it eventually anyway...

[citation needed] Companies like Cisco have directly attributed lost business to the revelations of the NSA spying. There is no reason to believe such business loss would have happened otherwise.

If it lets you spy on the iranians... or you know, cause their centrifuges to spin themselves apart. I don't want my intelligence agencies to release that vulnerability until they've spun those fuckers down.

You do realize that your statement here completely misses their point, right? How naive are you that you think only the NSA knows about these vulnerabilities? You really think criminals and other countries like China don't also know them and aren't using them against corporations and individuals in the US?

It's really not in the NSA's job description to be exposing vulnerabilities in public systems so much as exploiting them. We don't have an agency whose job description touches cyber security.

Hahahaha. That's so wrong it's hilarious. A central tent of the NSA's mission is to protect the security of the networks in this country.
