last week, edward snowden made his second appearance before the parliamentary assembly of the councilof europe. that is the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe. during testimony, snowden said mass surveillance is not only unlawful, but also immoral. >> what i witnessed over the course of my career was the construction of the system that violated the rights not just americans, but of people around the world. and not just constitutional rights. and it happened on a massive and unprecedented scale. and happen entirely in secret without the public allowed to know even the barest outlines of the policies. and i very strongly believed if the public about the programs, these programs would not survive. we would consider them not only unlawful, but simply immoral and even if they could be shown to be effective in some percentage of cases, we would reject them nonetheless in the same manner that we reject torture. because even if torture was effective, we reject it regardless of that effectiveness. we reject it because it is barbaric on immoral, and contrary to our basic principles
