What has been revealed by Snowden is Pulcinella's secret. What is the big deal in spying on people? Isn't this what NSA suppose to do? 

Well, you know, there's that whole fourth amendment thing that kind of throws a wrench in the supposed legality of this, but outside of that, sure, it's no big deal.

I understand why patriots went bonkers over desecrated ideals they hold making hero out of Snowden, but in the argument between reality and ideals -- reality always wins. Too little, too late I'm afraid for call for legality.

I believe this is most commonly referred to as "saying something without saying anything."

Privacy and preventing potential abuse of secret government wiretapping is a desecrated ideal? The Fourth Amendment is a desecrated ideal? Please, elaborate here.
