The National Security Agency has admitted that analysts
have abused their authority to spy on love interests on several occasions.
* AND THESE PEOPLE ARE NOW IN JAIL... RIGHT? (THE
ANALYSTS... NOT THE LOVE INTERESTS...)
(*RUEFUL CHUCKLE*)
In one case, an analyst spied on a foreign phone number
she discovered in her husband's cell-phone, suspecting that he had cheated on
her. She intercepted phone calls involving her husband, investigators
discovered. The analyst resigned before any disciplinary action could be taken.
* WHY SHOULD RESIGNATION PREVENT PROSECUTION, CONVICTION,
AND PUNISHMENT...?!
On one analyst's first day of access to the NSA system,
he pulled records on six email addresses belonging to his ex-girlfriend.
* THIS IS A "VETTED" NSA EMPLOYEE! THIS IS
SOMEONE THEY HIRED...!!!
He claimed he just wanted to test the system. The NSA
demoted him and docked his pay for two months.
* DEMOTED...?!?! NOT FIRED...?!?! NOT CRIMINALLY
CHARGED...?!?!
In another case, an analyst collected call data on his
girlfriend and his own home phone number "out of curiosity." He
retired before the agency took any action.
* AGAIN... HOW IS RESIGNATION APPARENTLY A GET OUT OF
JAIL FREE CARD...???
Another analyst based in a foreign location collected
phone records on her foreign national boyfriend and other foreign nationals,
saying she wanted to be sure she wasn't associating with "shady
characters." She resigned before the agency took disciplinary action.
(*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)
An analyst who collected data on his wife lost access to
the classified system, and another analyst who said he misused the system to
help learn a foreign language also lost access to the database.
* LOST ACCESS...???
* LOST ACCESS...???
The NSA has admitted that analysts have violated legal
restrictions on thousands of occasions in recent years, but the agency says
most of the violations are accidental.
* BUT THE AGENCY SAYS...
* HEY... FOLKS... DID YOU HEAR? MOST CRIMINALS PLEAD
"NOT GUILTY!"
(*ROLLING MY EYES*)
