Mikko Hypponen said some interesting things in a recent TED talk http://www.ted.com/talks/mikko_hypponen_how_the_nsa_betrayed_the_world_s_trust_time_to_act.html http://www.ted.com/talks/mikko_hypponen_how_the_nsa_betrayed... and specifically emphasises the point that until the whistleblow, we didn't know about the surveilance.
