I don't see your point. Most large projects require the combined effort of many people, especially if you want to be confident in their quality and get them shipped on time, as I'm sure the NSA does. Is that supposed to be a bad thing? Or did you just want to have fun by calling people enablers because they do something you disagree with?
As for your views on privacy, I don't expect that most people can change their fundamental beliefs like what constitutes a human right. Especially not as the result of anonymous internet comments. As always, progress depends on people with outdated views dying out naturally.

Not in and of itself, it all depends on the goals and the side effects.

No, I call them enablers because by themselves politicians typically can't do much. They need others to do the work for them.

Maybe they don't have to. Maybe we could set up a universal declaration of such rights. And maybe we could give it a sexy name, such as 'Universal Declaration of Human Rights'.
