Former NSA Chief misunderstands his opponents so completely that he actually thinks that they would be more upset about Snowden's arrest than they are about the programs that he revealed, and are likely to tear the Internet down if Snowden is apprehended.

Frankly, I don't know whether this is hilarious, offensive, or infuriating.

"If and when our government grabs Edward Snowden, and brings him back here to the United States for trial, what does this group do?" said retired air force general Michael Hayden, who from 1999 to 2009 ran the NSA and then the CIA, referring to "nihilists, anarchists, activists, Lulzsec, Anonymous, twentysomethings who haven't talked to the opposite sex in five or six years".

Nihilists? Why would nihilists care about Snowden? They're nihilists Hayden! They don't believe in anything!
