Here is a great editorial by Glenn Greenwald in the LA Times. Apperntly, Edward Snowden and Silicon Valley are being blamed for terrorists “going dark”.  Snowden’s revelations about government surveillance and Silicon Valley’s recent toughening of encryption are being blamed, but Greenwald quotes a USA Today article from 2/5/2001 (well before the 9/11 attacks) which said that even then “encryption has become the everyday tool of Muslim extremists.” My favorite line?  This one:

“Are we ready to endorse the precept that no human communication can ever take place without the U.S. government being able to monitor it?”
