yes that was my feeling however material about the constitutionality of the various programs he revealed are surely part of the article in some appropriate place discussing whether snowden's actions was justified or indeed any section just describing those programs following from burnley's and others' remarks about costs it doesn't necessarily follow that the illegality of these programs justifies snowden's actions and it was the begging of this question or so i felt that i objected to when the material was in the lede but i have no problem with it appearing elsewhere
