"Conservatives and Snowden"
The concept that some cannot perceive that others would abuse these things comes out in this article.

At AmericanThinker.com, J.R. Dunn describes some views about surveillance and also fires a broadside at Barack Obama:
"Obama has never encountered a system that he has not abused. This includes academia, the justice system, and politics on the local, state, and national level. Though we lack the details, it's certain that he manipulated the academic system -- there's no other way to explain his rise from a second-tier West Coast college to the leading American universities with no visible academic attainments whatsoever. His political career is marked by the type of chicanery that used to destroy careers but today is excused -- at least with Democrats -- with a kind of 'isn't-he-such-a-rogue' whimsy, and includes bushwhacking his own mentor, Alice Palmer, digging into Jack Ryan's private life to wreck his Senate campaign, and so on up to his arrangement with Candy Crowley during the last presidential debates.
To argue that this figure, with his third-world sense of political responsibility and his Chicago-honed ethics, would not abuse any possible resource he could get his hands on simply beggars credulity."
