From Colin Parrish
Forgive me if I fail to share your joy in response to “whistle-blower” Edward Snowden’s exposure of the US National Security Agency’s surveillance techniques (21 June, p 5).
Of course we should be alert to the problem of overly intrusive governments, but by far the more serious threat right now is that posed by organised terrorism.
As a result of Snowden’s disclosures, we are all in even greater danger than we were before his treachery. This is hardly a cause for rejoicing – or for awarding Pulitzer prizes.
