Mho, this summary tweet puts the U.S.'s problem as regards the issue very succinctly and correctly:

BTW, though at first glance this tweet might seem to be from anonymous nutsy twitter users:

User REIGN OF TERROR is coming is actually reporter Spencer Ackerman.

The original tweeter, Khasif M. Chaudry, M.D., is Cardiac Electrophysiologist |Human Rights Activist |Recipient, Presidential Service Award |Writer, Blogger @ HuffPost

And Spencer's retweet was brought to my attention by Sheera Frenkel retweeting it, who is Cybersecurity reporter for the New York Times. She's the only one of the three I follow.
