Our image abroad has been hurt by our immense data collection worldwide, not by Snowden getting asylum in Russia. Our data collection activities receive more attention in foreign news media than here at home. In Germany the NSA is compared to the STASI (State Security Police in East Germany).
The Military/Industrial Complex (MIC) now feels threatened by Snoden's disclosures. The MIC has most of Congress, Democrat & Republicans alike, and the mainstream media in their pocket. This is evidenced by the House Leadership clamp down on the popular Amash amendment to CISPA. As the the distrust of government rises, the MIC will clamp down more & more on our personal and economic freedom.
I hope the Republican Leadership's support for the NSA program will backfire.
