Just remember that the author knows the NSA is watching him, and if he goes too far (i.e. by outright saying that they or the president is lying), he might become a risk to national security. In this country, the people do not have the right to criticize the government, you know? ;)

There's no progress and no remedy for the current situation if people continue to act "reasonably" (Snowden didn't and we made progress).
