Agreed - one might think Snowden misguided, but his reasonings seem to hold up given certain prior assumptions (e.g., allegiance to the constitution).

I would also be quite shocked if other major Powers didn't have a really good idea of what exactly the NSA is doing: they probably know better than most publics. Spies are gonna spy on spies, and that should be expected. The question is the limits on the spying the law & polity have put in place. I agree with Snowden that the polity of the US has a right to understand the scope of what's being done in their (our) name (specifics I think are quite fine being kept to trade secrets).
