What Snowden really revealed

What Snowden _really_ revealed is that the goal of the terrorists has been achieved. The 2996 souls who lost the lives on 9/11 were unfortunate collateral damage.

The hysteria since and "hollowing out of our democracy" is the goal of a terrorist.

This is not to say things weren't peachy before the attack, but the US has lost so much moral standing, respect & power since due to our government's actions.

We should have kept calm and carried on, we did the complete opposite.

Exactly! "we will not allow this enemy to win the war by changing our way of life or restricting our freedoms" - George W. Bush (9/12/01)

It's a pity he (and/or Obama) didn't actually follow through with that promise.
