- lorendsr 13y agoI think it was important for the citizens to know what powers they have given the NSA. They did not have an accurate sense of that before Snowden. But he released a lot more than that, much of which will hurt the NSA's capabilities.
- muglug 13y agoThanks for your response. I'd question whether the American people having given the NSA those powers - it's more like: Lawyers working for the NSA have deemed certain methods of data collection as being in accordance with US law, as voted for by elected officials within the context of a not great two-party democracy.
