If the NSA's ability to spy is a critical piece of national security -- then that which opposes it is a national security threat. It isn't the Greenwalds or the Applebaums who are the targets, it is the people who are elected President, run for Congress, or run big technology companies. The only people who have come close to spelling this out are Senator Ron Wyden and Bill Binney. That was before Snowden's leaks.

I'm not impressed by tech's leadership on this. Their fear today will mean a new generation will see secret pervasive surveillance as a feature to be added to; and perhaps that generation already does.
