The program is preempting privacy for security. Here preempting overstepping of the Constitution should be pardoned.
It is better to err on the side of protecting rights than protecting overstepping authoritarian actions. The latter needs to prove itself more thoroughly if rights are lessened.
Noone will stand up if there isn't some support for people that do things for our freedom. Is making this public really worth putting someone in prison who clearly was smart enough to make it in the CIA and NSA?
If he is wrong and it is now legal to do illegal search and seizure of papers (without oversight and judicial approval/warrants), then we should just kill off the 4th amendment and stop pretending. Giving up freedoms is easy, getting them back is hard and too late. I think you should reconsider.
