Worthy of note: Everything revealed by Snowden/Greenwald was postulated by James Bamford in 2009 based on publicly-available information. Not saying the NSA's actions aren't a terrible breach of trust and a clear indicator that they need greater oversight. Am saying that casual observers have been unsurprised, and that the scope of the NSA's behavior has not been difficult to discern.
