Debunking the Myth! There Is No Real Oversight Of The NSA's Surveillance

13. I think right now, even if he gets Snowden . . .

. . . the shitstorm won't clear up. People are not going to shake the feeling of being watched, and that's going to continue having a cumulative effect. For one thing, people who have had no paranoia before are just going to go nuts. Nerves in general will run higher and higher, and resentment of the government by both wings will just grow.

They doesn't mean Snowden is safe. It would just feel too good to get him, and if one can't do anything else, one does the ineffective.

I'll go a little off subject about the cumulative effect. Remember, it was covert tactics that got us into trouble with terrorism to begin with. Now that they're being applied domestically, the same thing will happen. It's ironic that if it weren't for these intelligence guys, we wouldn't needed these intelligence guys. They created the very problem we've entrusted them to correct.

Now we're going to see a lot of the US population become radicalized.
