This is a very well-put comment.
The core cause there would seem to be sharing comm channels with foriegn actors--the same thing that makes our position with regards to the 'net so awesome also means that the NSA is kind of forced to get involved closer to home. It's a tricky tradeoff.

Everything that is being revealed about the NSA's actions, this buying of influence especially, is positively reprehensible...BUT it is important to keep an eye on where the blame really lies: with the people that let their assassins dictate their foreign policy and domestic priorities.
