@Frank Apisa,
Quote:Not sure it is positive...but if I had to bet, I'd bet that the world would have had a better chance of preventing that attack if Edward Snowden had not done what he did.
Once more name me one attack that did not happen due to the massive and non-target spying.
Next terrorists was taking precautions against electronic spying long long before Snowden.
Two examples of this was Bin Laden headquarter having no internet or phone connections to the rest of the world and the terrorists came up with their own encrypt program similar to PGP by the name of Mujahideen Secrets since 2007.
Snowden "sin" was that he let the American people know how our government was shitting on the constitution.
