Hi Glenn and Murtaza,

Right here on reddit you see the exact same "Clash of Civilizations" rhetoric against muslims especially from the heroes of modern atheists and democrats such as Richard Dawkins and Bill Maher, many people have lost the ability to empathize with moderate muslims, as a result I have seen a lot of comments after this story's release as being exactly what the NSA is supposed to be doing, or that they are unsurprised, how would you respond to these people?

Also, we have seen this kind of spying before in the 60's as part of COINTELPRO, but back then there was more public outrage and there was even a grand jury, why isn't there the same response now?

Lastly, I wanted to share this quote with you:

In an interview famed social theorist Roberto Unger (and Obama's former law professor) said the following:

"The sin of the public culture of the United States is the tendency to believe that the country discovered, at the time of its foundation, the definitive formula of a free society, and that the rest of humanity must either subscribe to this formula or continue to languish in poverty and despotism."

Thanks for increasing public awareness on privacy and US foreign policy.

There's still a lot of people in the US who brush these things off as a fact of life, or believe that they don't have any power to affect change. It doesn't help that as we approach the 2016 election, it seems likely we will be getting 8 years of the exact same policies a la Hillary Clinton, I hope we can get some serious litigation from these stories.

Hey, the way to add links is using the syntax square brackets for what you want to add the link to, and then parenthesis for the hyperlink itself.
