Comment: Ya don't say??? It's hard to find a more obvious statement on NSA surveillance. Anyone who has given this subject serious attention knows that spy agencies have been at it for decades. I wouldn't believe one word coming out of the mouths of UK intelligence heads. It is utter rubbish that the Snowden leaks have compromised intel operatives. Not a shred of evidence has been offered as to how and why because we should know by now that most terror plots are fabricated and / or entrapment exercises within the war on terror industry as a whole. The surveillance authorities demand ubiquitous spying on the public because it is the public and our growth of awareness regarding the behaviour of authoritarian institutions like the NSA and UK intelligence outfits that represent the greatest threat.
