Laws - haha - Snowdon revealed mass illegal surveillance. Clapper bare faced lied to Senators about it.
Also those laws only protect US citizens - as far as the US is concerned everyone else is totally fair game for anything - including arbitrary assassination, kidnappings, torture, imprisonment without trial etc.
I'd suggest the US wake up and take a good look in the mirror before moralising to others.
In a multi-polar world the US is going to need friends - and the US has some great people and characteristics - but as a friend - you need to sort yourselves out or soon you'll be on your own.
