“Of course, Snowden’s charges have made members of the US – and Western – Intel community uncomfortable. But this is a small price to pay for months of media. On the one hand, Western Intel agencies have now been ‘outed’ along with their capabilities. On the other, a ‘dialogue’ is proceeding with the aim of rationalizing what has been accomplished and fitting it into a larger structure of ‘law and order.’ The idea is to legalize what’s been accomplished. The end result is that people are to be further terrorized when it comes to their private lives and that they are not to have any legal recourse. Additionally, Snowden himself is to be demonized.”
