And a recap of general NSA happenings from a redditor:

.[–]spheroida 62 points 2 hours ago*
Note: I've tried to stick to major source, primarily the New York Times, Washington Post, and Guardian.
Thanks to Snowden, we now know the NSA:
Had James Clapper lie under oath to us - on camera - to Congress to hide the domestic spying programs Occured in March, revealed in June.
Warrantlessly accesses records of every phone call that routes through the US thousands of times a day JuneSeptember
Steals your private data from every major web company (Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft, et al) via PRISMJune and pays them millions for it August
Pays major US telecommunications providers (AT&T, Verizon, et al) between $278,000,000-$394,000,000 annually to provide secret access to all US fiber and cellular networks (in violation of the 4th amendment). August
Intentionally weakened the encryption standards we rely on, put backdoors into critical software, and break the crypto on our private communications September
NSA employees use these powers to spy on their US citizen lovers via LOVEINT, and only get caught if they self-confess. Though this is a felony, none were ever been charged with a crime. August
Lied to us again just ten days ago, claiming they never perform economic espionage (whoops!) before a new leak revealed that they do all the time. September
Made over fifteen thousand false certifications to the secret FISA court, leading a judge to rule they "frequently and systemically violated" court orders in a manner "directly contrary to the sworn attestations of several executive branch officials," that 90% of their searches were unlawful, and that they "repeatedly misled the court." September September
Has programs that collect data on US Supreme Court Justices and elected officials, and they secretly provide it to Israel regulated only by an honor system. September
And they spend $75,000,000,000.00 of your tax money each year to do this to you. I'm not putting up with this any longer.

You forgot that they also have been writing and intentionally infecting computers with malware all over the world, legally pressuring companies to place backdoors into software we all use (including OSs), directly attack anonymous means of communication in a very anti-free-speech means of censorship (IE. shutting down any email providers and whole TOR servers that don't cooperate with providing backdoors), and hacking into civilian computers or other private devices.

Nope, wasn't included on that list. Only thing that was close was the coverage of the NSA hacking China in various ways and eavesdropping the G20 summit. Some of what I mentioned hasn't even been covered by Snowden's leaked files (yet).
