I honestly think this entire Snowden fiasco is a lie. Not some conspiracy stuff either. Its just to perfect + out of the 1% of the documents that have been released so far most of it was already public knowledge since the 90s. Now I obviously cannot prove that its all a lie and I sound stupid crazy right now so I am just going to leave this alone and see what happens once Snowden takes the Noble for doing his job.
There is a difference between innuendo and leaked powerpoint slides.

Very astute.
The fact the he even got involved in the leaks makes me think that its all a lie.
He could have done it like the FBI leak of the 70s but I don't know why he didn't

There were EU parliament reports; the industrial espionage was known; spying on friendly nations was well known.
The slides give more detail, they include names or programmes, and they are about modern abuses. But it is wrong to say that we didn't know that governments surveilled their citizens. Some people might have ignored it.
