Mind boggling. And this is the same government that's invading sovereign countries, has its agencies undertake black operations to overthrow foreign democratically elected bodies that don't serve its interests [1], all in the name of bringing "democracy" to those regions. Here we have that same government making a fool out of the very people that elected it.

It's safe to assume the NSA can easily do way more than 2 petaflops, and they have an exaflop goal, and that would be enough to run known attacks against DES, factor 1024bit RSA moduli ... and if they can compromise just one root CA (which uses 1024bit RSA) they can issue valid certifications of their own and MITM everyone, and none would be the wiser.
And all of this assuming the NSA relies on publicly known weaknesses in SSL/TLS. The matter of the fact is that they have very smart people with access to unlimited resources researching new vulns and actively exploiting them.

And I'm supposed to take this at face value, without this being corroborated by different news outlets? For all I know, the people from both sides of this matter are trying to social engineer me into being on their side. I am not on either's side.
Furthermore, you attack a fellow HNer (@cup) and brand him a "Nazi" for sharing sensible argument, instead of addressing the points he makes.
The recent discussions around Turkey on HN, and the fact that comments like yours are getting upvoted, speaks heaps of the direction this site is heading towards.
