well I'm conservative and all this surveillence runs roughshod over the 4th amendment. What we have is a bunch of control freaks in government who are afraid of their own shadows. I worked for years in black hat type ops and the attitude especially of the FBI is both creepy and hyper paranoid. Interestingly enough when it's someone very high up in the government incompetently and negligently dumping a bunch of intel (like some former sec of state) it's hands off. But crucify the guy who tries to expose gross abuse of power and bring down the machinery. The machinery wants to crucify him and make a huge example. The machinery needs to be fixed and Snowden's actions need to be better examined by a group not so invested the massive machine.
