These NSA leaks just get more and more depressing. Not necessarily for the revelation of the all pervading, all seeing big brother but for the huge waste of public funds and resources, supporting such a vast network of surveillance agencies/apparatus, when there are so many, I repeat, so many, noble causes where all of these billions could be positively applied.

Ultimately, what the Snowden leaks really reveal is that the government has lost track of perspective and more importantly of priorities that matter.
