Edward Snowden: The World Says No to Surveillance

Oh I have no doubt about that. They've already proven that they're perfectly willing to continue blatantly violating the rights of the citizens and lie straight-faced about it under oath all the way up until the point when the evidence is sufficient to prove otherwise--at which point someone in charge will "step down" as punishment and retire to a cushy consulting job built upon on the very same intrusive infrastructure he preferentially helped put in place while in office.

Oh and because it was national security interest they were within their rights to lie under oath about breaking the law. Hmmmmmmmmm...

Yeah, the sad thing is that not only the metadata (which is obviously sufficient as per above example), but every single conversation dialog and picture and word of text is probably being stored, encrypted or not, in data centers that now hold exabytes (billions of gigabytes) of data. I believe Snowden already said something to that effect.
