If you're that paranoid, I don't know how you can bring yourself to look at the articles. In for a penny, in for a pound.

Ah, but you can read the articles and be in agreement with the government, rather than a dissenter. Commentary (i.e. dissent) makes you a marked man, reading does not.

What about the NSA reading these articles from a critical viewpoint? Surely they couldn't classify themselves as dissidents.

Negative indicator, potential dissident miscreant in NSA ranks. Anyhow, they are more likely to store url history than parse comments.

Don't they know what websites you visit, how long you stay on there, what links you click? You bet reading only is dangerous.
