It is this mission creep which has led to many of the abuses behind not just the Drug War, but the War on Terror. It is the permanent state of war that has contributed to the lack of transparency that should concern all Americans as laws and technology collide.

Whether Edward Snowden’s leak of NSA information is heroic or treasonous, what he revealed about America should startle us all.”
