I have to kind of disagree. I think that the whole release was necessary to put it all in context. The capabilities to spy on terrorists is what made it all to easy to spy on our own folks.
Where I completely agree with you is presentation of topics. If he had focused only on domestic spying in the beginning, the conversation could have focused on that first and foremost, and then later the other stuff could be brought in without clouding the issues.
But this is only because I think that indiscriminate spying is wrong, no matter what your nationality. And I say this coming from a military spy background where I know that spying is completely necessary.
But shit, choose your targets, and choose them for a reason.
