The point is not that 'we knew' they were doing it years ago. The point is that we now have actionable evidence of crimes against humanity being committed, and can properly go after the criminal elements behind this power grab. We've known for years that the American people are okay with their out-of-control government using its super powers to gain even more treasure throughout the world. But until we actually have evidence that can be used to do something about it, we shouldn't just stop repeating the message. The reason is that there are, every year, whole new waves of human beings entering this realm of culture, gaining enlightenment on these issues, and formulating their own opinions. These people will be running the country soon enough. Just because we old folks knew it, doesn't mean we shouldn't keep beating the drum for the teenager->adult crowd, too. Or else if we don't, then we're going to see just how quickly a culture can be flipped on its values.
