Leaks such as this invoke comparisons to a Jason Bourne movie or Jack Clancy novel. And, there are debates on all sides as to the legality of the program, the morality of the unchecked observation, and whether the ends do, in fact, justify the means. Regardless of where you stand, incidences such as this one remind me of how valuable our Constitution truly is.
