Your reply reminded me of the time I hired a handyman to look in my attic at an electric rooftop vent. I went with him to look. He told me the manufacturer was a front for the CIA. He was ex-military.
I have know idea if what he said was true, but he said it.
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
Every day new revelations about the NSA and its misuse of the data it questionably obtains are reported. How much abuse can we, the USA citizenry, take? How much abuse will we allow?
Where are our elected representatives? Why is this travesty allowed to continue one more day?
"If the administration wants to make a small effort towards rebuilding its reputation, it should consider dismissing the charges against Snowden and use the leaked information to open an actual discussion on national security and constitutional rights."
How? Why? Does our government, I use the term loosely, have no moral or ethical compass whatsoever?
If this is not stopped, where will it end? I am far more afraid of my own government's overreach, than any group of terrorists anywhere- no matter how large.

I do think it is a control issue, as is copyright and free trade pacts, and other issues we have to deal with.
Is it going to take 10,000,000 people marching on Washington to wake up the assjacks running our country?
Fear from terrorist attack is the least of my worries.
This issue has really gotten me all riled up and I hope on the NSA's radar. :-)
