Re: Snowden
I think the surprising part is what data they are collecting (I don't think we really know the full extent) and the lack of trust that they are not abusing their powers.
One really telling thing was the statement from the President and others that Congress was briefed. Obviously not exactly true as several have come out saying they knew nothing of it.
The real problem I have is the extent of the surveillance on US citizens, i.e. phone calls and Internet use. And keeping the data for years and years.
Do we really trust anyone in Government anymore?
