And while we're at it, let's stop letting them wave the "but the terrorists" flag every time they justify a program for which the goal is a lot more than terrorism (assuming many programs are about terrorism at all. Personally, I suspect most programs have nothing to do with terrorism, but that there is no better way to push through support than to argue "but the terrorists").

Many attacks against USA are motivated because of actions like the ones from NSA. Other countries are starting to consider the USA an enemy to be defeated because bulshit likes this is getting shown. If citizens of other countries start to make an outcry their leaders will make retaliations even if just for show.
