I completely agree, especially about Binney. I've been following what the NSA's doing since the Room 641A scandal broke. I recently wrote a paper on the NSA versus privacy, and as usual, what I found during the course of my research pretty much blew my mind. Binney is a hero as much as Snowden is, as are Drake and Weibe. I've used every opportunity to post this short that the NYT did on Binney, and everyone who's interested in this (and especially everyone who's not) should watch it.
