NSA Forms Its Own "Boo-Hoo Brigade"

Emperor Alexander and his Chief Lackey send out a propaganda-laced letter to all of the families of NSA employees to reassure them that they are doing good work as they shred whatever is left of Americans' civil liberties.

Of course, that's not the way that he phrased it, exactly. He did whine about the NSA spooks who had been killed in various plane crashes (and shoot-downs) during the Cold War. And he claimed that the NSA has good oversight, even though the record is clear that he and his boss have lied to Congress and the NSA has repeatedly lied to the FISA court, all without any repercussions whatsoever.

Somehow, though, I can't imagine Yuri Andropov sending out such a letter to reassure the KGB families after he got done crushing the Prague Spring. Maybe Soviet spooks were made of sterner stuff.
