When NSA recruiters went to the University of Wisconsin earlier this
week to pitch language students on working for the agency, they got more
than they bargained for.
The informed students turned the question-and-answer session into a hearing. On trial were the NSA’s lies, their legality, and how they define “adversary.”
The students recorded audio of the exchange on an iPhone proving that the language-analyst NSA recruiters were left tongue-tied.
“I’m surprised that for language analysts you’re incredibly imprecise with your language..”, grad student Madiha Tahir charged when they failed to define what constitutes an adversary.
“What you’re selling us is untrue..” she added. “We also know that
the NSA took down brochures and fact sheets after the Snowden
revelations because those fact sheets had severe inaccuracies and
untruths in them — so how are we supposed to believe what you’re
saying?”
