While I personally consider the NSA to be a very suspect agency, considering the extensive invasion of communication they have been invested in, I (just in my gut), trust them. Although they have been and are invasive, I think that they have a job to do and that it is a worthwhile one. In lieu of tuesday's incident (not just because of it), I think that there must some reconsideration of opposition to domestic and abroad intelligence gathering techniques. I don't nescessarily feel that reading my email is right, but I think that there is something to think about here.
Also, I think a NSA secure linux is an awesome thing to have - something for the public that can be immediately recognized as coming from the NSA...They are working for us, as citizens...(I'm not waving the flag, I'm pretty anti-blind-patriotism). Also, if they were trying to somehow spy on us, I don't think that they'd do it through a piece of software you could download from their website. :)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
