Some Parts of the NSA Scandal Are Funny!

There are many things the NSA should not be doing and those have been covered at great length in the press while being completely ignored by the NSA and its puppet politicians.  There's also something else the NSA should not be doing ... and that's going onto college campuses for recruiting drives.  (The Guardian:  NSA recruitment drive goes horribly wrong)

Apparently they were expecting the students to be as stupid and gullible as the pet politicians but here's an example of what really happened:

Recruiter 2: "This job isn't for everybody, you know ..."

Tahir: "So is this job for liars? Is this what you're saying? Because, clearly, you're not able to give us forthright answers. I mean, given the way the NSA has behaved, given the fact that we've been lied to as Americans, given the fact that factsheets have been pulled down because they clearly had untruths in them, given the fact that Clapper and Alexander lied to Congress – is that a qualification for being in the NSA? Do you have to be a good liar?"

Recruiter 1: I don't believe the NSA is telling complete lies. And I do believe that you know, I mean people can, you can read a lot of different things that are, um, portrayed as fact and that doesn't make them fact just because they're in newspapers."

Unnamed female student: "Or intelligence reports."

Recruiter 1: "That's not really our purpose here today and I think if you're not interested in that ... there are people here who are probably interested in a language career."
