All network traffic in the US should be seen as the opposite of innocent untill proven guilty: Unless you can prove otherwise, everything we know of surveillance tells us that of course everything and everyone was spied upon. I can't think of any reason the NSA and/or CIA should not have spied when they do so on everything else they can get their hands on.

A large portion of the population really doesn't want to believe it. A small population with a vested interest (and lots of relevant tools at its disposal) is happy to help them.
