Police state: "12 substantiated cases of willful violations over 10 years" http://tv.msnbc.com/2013/09/26/loveint-nsa-employees-eavesdropped-on-girlfriends-spouses/ …
@speechboy71 But when anyone chooses to cling to such Orwellian use of language, it, by itself, suggests something is wrong.

@emptywheel It's perhaps not Orwellian, but accusations of willful violations of the law w/o evidence are also troubling -
@speechboy71 Um. I'm relying on NSA's own report. That's not evidence now? 9% according to NSA. Up to 20% in some categories. -
@emptywheel No you're relying on your interpretation of the NSA's own report. -
@speechboy71 Um. Have you got another way to interpret it? No one has disputed my actual interpretation. Jsut ... blathered. -
@emptywheel There are many ways to interpret that information. I don't share the view that it is evidence of willful violations -
@speechboy71 Then this is a CLEAR case where I have presented evidence and you have just made claims w/o providing any evidence. -
@emptywheel But perhaps you should call the NSA press office and ask them what that term refers to. -
@speechboy71 You prefer spin to actual evidence. I get that. BUt that means you're ignoring hard evidence for unreliable spin. - 4 more replies

@emptywheel It's kind of Orwellian to throw around words like "willful" for rhetorical effect when you can't back it up.@speechboy71 -
@UrbanAchievr I can back it up. It comes from the NSA's own definitions. Is that okay?@speechboy71

@GPIngersoll I think you win the anti-internets for that one! "Since when is accurate language Orwellian?"@emptywheel@speechboy71
