.@lawfareblog still hasn't retracted the demonstrably false claim--one I've corrected @Susan_Hennessey on over and over--that NSA fixed "abouts" before it became public. That is false and should be retracted, w/correction notice.https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/954088751122255874 …

We didn't say it was fixed before it became public. We said the system self-identified the problem long before public disclosure and self-reported before it become public.
So it is your position that knowingly violating Bates' rules for 5 years and only moving to learn how bad the problem was after 4 is a sign of self-correction? Help me understand what you're celebrating here.https://twitter.com/Susan_Hennessey/status/954102376788643840 …

Because what you seem to be saying is, "Once Edward Snowden brought about a 3 year delay on transparency into knowing violations of the law, once NSA no longer operated in secret, NSA moved to fix things."
-
Not to mention the fact that Colllyer's refusal to appoint an amicus (something you've cheered) probably means the violations predictably continue.

My position is that you misread the sentence you are calling false and that it is not false, but accurate. No more, no less.

Okay. But all the sentence says then is that "because NSA operates in secret we can guarantee that we can continue Fourth Amendment violations for years and still get credit for self-fixing." It's actually proof that this program is abused (and was, while you were at NSA).
-
Moreover, it is still false that certain parts of the violations (such as that some queries were not audited, IDd in 1/2017) were found b4 made public.
