I certainly hope so, though it only really matters if their capabilities
are beyond what the general public already believes them to be. In the
realm of their pure crypto/cryptanalysis operations, there may not be much
going on that's unexpected or even unethical. That stuff may happen in the
social engineering department, e.g. the RSA bribe, which we found out
about.
