NSA obtains embarrassing information to discredit or blackmail people

dimanche 1 décembre 2013 à 13:00

The NSA obtained embarrassing information against "radicalizers" so as to discredit or blackmail them.

If these techniques are applied to foreign enemies of the American nation, I could not criticize it. But they can just as well be applied to Americans, and to democratic political activists of other countries, at which point the practice resembles J. Edgar Hoover's blackmail (which focused on US politicians).
