I don't know if they could "disappear" Snowden now. I mean, who has motive to make him disappear.

I totally agree with the discreting angle. I mean, we are seeing that already and we totally expected it.

But really, I think that the exposure of PRISM will do no more than the exposure of the AT&Treason+NSA thing from a few years back.

I don't think this will get fixed with lawsuits and law in general. The tech to spy is just too cheap and the intelligence is too valuable.

People just need to start covering their own asses better by using technical means to protect their privacy. Ie: cryptography, don't use "cloud" services, use open source when possible, patch yer shit, etc..
Oh they can "disappear him" they are very patient and unforgiving, give it time he will be forgotten then he will die from a brain tumor or some such and itll be buried in the news behind some story about the little league world series winner
