From the article above, I found numerous strengths and weaknesses. A few of the strengths it presented were reliable sources, it maintains a direct perspective of how the National Security Agency should be looked upon, it maintained neutrality, and links to references were working. However, there were several weaknesses. For example, their were numerous distractions from the articles main perspective and their was over representation of how fair and lawful the Agency is as a whole. If I were to contribute to this article, I would firstly elaborate on Eric Snowden. He was one of the very few people who tried to make a statement that the NSA was spying on American calls. He was a supporter of the privacy violations and even gave up his job to leave for Russia in worries that the federal government would come after him. He's made such an enormous impact on this Agency in particular and deserves to be noted for more than just an NSA contractor who leaked information. Also, I would add onto the politician controversy. The leaders of our country are suppose to know how the government agencies are collaborating and what missions are being worked on. These two edits will help support the central purpose of the article, which is to understand the evolution of the NSA.
