NSA repeatedly broke, vowed to obey surveillance rules, court records show

Author: CBS News

SOAPstone:

Subject: They talk about how the court told the NSA to stop looking at peoples' phone records and other personal things but they continued to anyway. It also talks about the reason why the NSA keeps doing this is because they have a lack of discipline and no one is stepping in to stop them from doing these things.

Occasion: The NSA's intentional breaking of the court ruling is the reason this article has been written as well as their lack of compliance to stop spying on other people.

Audience: Anyone who wants to know what the government is doing to stop the NSA from looking at other peoples personal information or empower them to do it even more.

Purpose: This was written to inform people of what the NSA has been doing and what the government is doing as a reaction. It is giving the people a reason to fight against the NSA or work with them to make this country safer from terrorists.

Speaker: CBS News writer, government, NSA
