I don't buy any of this. NSA required a public announcement of their capabilities via their very own 'whistle blower'. My guess is they are computationally constrained and needed a little kick to float hidden networks to view (and I am certain it worked.) The only glitch was the hit to US economic interests e.g. Google, Apple. So this theatre is to address that. Don't be afraid to admit to yourselves what you already know. :)
