I think water boarding is illegal, but I do not recall that any prisoner of war had the right for due process whilst the fight was going on. Keep in mind that if freed you would send them home and if it was a regular army, they go right back to the front. One could argue, if all of those were involved in the war, but that's a different question.
As for Snowden, I think he did the right thing and I am stunned that not more do the same. Be that Government or Private organizations.
The whole loan and banking sector is full of people taking advantage of others by questionable means. I agree that some secrecy is needed, but who would be so naive not to think that NSA would tap the lines? The question is if they doing in a big fishing game or restricted to certain cases. Here we have the right to privacy and due process, reasonable search etc. Fundamental american values that we learned in WWII America has given a damn about when it came to the Japanese-American. Thus it is reasonable to ask, if the lesson was learned or tossed out the window.
As the past has shown in the Boston case, the guys were under surveilance, but someone was sleeping. Perhaps the fishing game is collecting so much stuff, that people are simply overwhelmed.
Final point: Just because something is the Law doesn't make it just and right.
