Worried
Some folks have got to be worried right now. Pline. And Jeff nails it:
"With few exceptions, I don’t think many of them actually believe this story. But what such allegations provide for, however hypothetical and farfetched they turn out to be (and NSA oversight is some of the tightest in the country), is an ethos of romanticism, intrigue, and—for those hoping to experience or recapture that heady counterculture ethos—heroism, in precisely the mode of the antiheroes who peopled the political dramas of the early 70s, from 3 Days of the Condor and Parallax View to All the President’s Men and The Candidate."
Working for the enemy is not heroic.
