Have you seen the spin the mainstream media is putting on this issue?
It's sickening.
If the issue is covered (earlier, CNN felt it necessary to talk about oversized rubber-duckies and some phenomenon called 'crazy ants' instead), coverage NEVER questions the existence of the surveillance itself. Instead, the WAY the government handles the surveillance is questioned (contracting it out, etc).
So, yes, in a perfect world, people would see this news and question it, where 'it' is the existence of such egregious surveillance measures.
Unfortunately, the majority of Americans aren't that thorough in their thinking, and instead will ponder the questions the mainstream media feeds them.
And these questions just so happen to be pure bullshit.

I saw a headline today that read "Booz Allen contracts in jeapoardy after NSA leak?" and I thought really? that's what's what we should be asking for? Well at least in my family the dialogue has been: wow, what a young, smart, brave guy.
