Explain how he put the country in jeopardy. As Arnold Rimmer said, anyone up to anything illegal who isn't a complete idiot was already aware that law enforcement can tap communications, and would be taking countermeasures against it anyway. All Snowden did was reveal that they were doing it to *everyone*, not just suspected bad guys. |
Well argueably tapping everyone was getting SOME results. It's something that shouldn't be acceptable, but no doubt there are plots that will take longer to discover/not be discovered.
Putting the country at risk is a bit hyperbolic since really, I don't think there are any plots that big that a regular net would miss but there likely would be some danger... if the NSA ends up stopping it's program. (Probably not going to happen honestly.)
That said, it's a danger we should really be willing to face.
