I've thought about this, and the idea that someone has snooped on my emails or telephone calls doesn't bother me. Someone I dont know, and will never meet, it makes no difference if they overhear what I'm saying. I also find it hard to be offended or outraged on behalf of others to whom this is happening.
On the other hand, it is generally a good thing when people like snowden undermine their decietful, paranoid, power-obsessed governments. I'm bored of Assange now, though.
