Indeed.. but honestly, I'm not hopeful. I would have thought that shenangians on the level going on in the NSA (for as long as they've been at it) would have led to more conscience-burdened folks blowing the whistle either in public as Snowden did, or more covertly.

But who knows. Maybe Snowden emboldened a few people who will be able to shine some light on these things in a more quiet manner.
