(27,787 posts)Why would an out of control spy agency, one with no oversight, even conduct audits in the first place?
What's the purpose of the audits? And wouldn't the NSA just create fake audits that make it look great?
Or wait, I got it ... the NSA knows that we'd be very suspicious if they had internal audits, which when leaked, showed that their system didn't have any flaws. That would be too convenient.
So .... what they did is make up fake audits to trick us. But these fake audits show that they have plenty of flaws in their system. That way, when these audits are leaked, we'd believe them.
And then, naturally, because these internal audits show problems and violations, we'd come to the conclusion that the NSA is in fact NOT spying on us because they are conducting these regular audits ... audits that must be true because they don't make the NSA look so good.
Damn they're tricky.
