NSA Prepares For Future Techno-Battles By Plotting Network Takedowns
Advocatus Diaboli (1627651) writes According to top secret documents from the archive of NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden seen exclusively by SPIEGEL, they are planning for wars of the future in which the Internet will play a critical role, with the aim of being able to use the net to paralyze computer networks and, by doing so, potentially all the infrastructure they control, including power and water supplies, factories, airports or the flow of money.

No doubt. This was the legitimate NSA mission before they were corrupted into domestic operations.
Dear leaker community: please stop shitting in your own nest. You have no idea what you're doing, or what kind of world you're trying to create.
They could be like the roman senators who assasinated Julius Caesar, because they feared growing power would result in Caesar being crowned king and crush the republican form of government, but after the dirty deed was done, the senate lost legitimacy and Rome became a dictatorship, so their actions had the opposite of the intended affect.
With all that has been leaked so far.... if the general public has not yet become outraged enough with the NSA to have politicians driving for change, then probably nothing they have left will be able to meet that threshold.
