While I have no doubt that our government is guilty of hiding secrets that would shock the public for their heinous nature and the level of secrecy needed to keep them hidden, the issue is that conspiracy theorists think everything is a conspiracy and every conspiracy theory put forth is true. People lose all credibility when they start spewing nonsense like 9/11 was a government plot.
And in reality, the Snowden leak has only reinforced my notion that the government isn't an all-powerful secret keeper, because eventually, something of this magnitude did leak. Some people believe the government to be a completely trustworthy entity. Some people believe it to be an all-powerful evil. This leak only reinforces my belief that the truth is somewhere in the middle.
