I don’t particularly care what he motivation is. Nor do I particularly care which organizations are publishing the data. What I do care about is that he has lifted a veil on the surveillance state that has been sorely needed for years. I realize some of the information that has come out was previously suspected, but confirmation is key with this stuff, as is actually being able to get the word out. Regardless of the motivations behind the release, the American people have been well served by the leak.

“What I do care about is that he has lifted a veil on the surveillance state that has been sorely needed for years. “

What was uncovered that was not known?

Is it worth al Qaeda or other terrorist groups having access to info wherein they may be better able to avoid detection?

How are we to proceed from here in addressing and correcting abuses said to have been unveiled by Snowden?
