    The National Security Agency -- which as whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed, hasn't been truthful about how much data it collects on phone calls and internet traffic -- just removed "honesty" from the core values listed on its website.

    "Honesty" has been listed as a priority on the NSA's website since at least May 3, 2016. But in an updated version on January 12, 2018, first spotted by The Intercept, the word was replaced with replaced with "Commitment to Service."

    Um, it's under "integrity": "We are committed to communicating honestly and directly, acting ethically and fairly..."

    I like that they added accountability though.

    The old transparency says they're transparent to citizens. The new one says, to their bosses.

    The revision more accurately mirrors reality than the original fluff piece.
