(55,981 posts)"It was already known." That which is claimed now to have been "already known" was denied by the NSA supporters every step of the way until it was admitted to by the Security State and then it automatically becomes "already known". And even if it was "already known" does that make it ok if it violates the Constitution.
And the rationalization that there are a myriad of assertions that have never been proven, doesn't mean they aren't true. Those chosen to investigate the possible wrong doings of the ever powerful Security State work for the same Security State.
We have learned a lot from the revelation of Snowden.
Seems to me that those that are against transparency and hate whistle-blowers want to protect their carefully built denial bubbles. To some the pretense of security is more important than freedom.
