Is Edward Snowden at least partly to blame for the Paris attacks? CIA Director John Brennan certainly seems to think so.

Snowden stole and made public a vast amount of information on US government surveillance — prompting a deluge of new privacy protections to rein in Uncle Sam’s snooping.

In remarks Monday to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Brennan said these “reforms” have made it much harder to identify terrorists.

He cited “a number of unauthorized disclosures, and a lot of hand-wringing over the government’s role in the effort to try and uncover these terrorists” as a critical factor that has made that effort “much more challenging.”

And he said the coordinated, well-planned ISIS attacks must serve as a “wake-up call” because “this is not the only operation” that ISIS “has in the pipeline.”

Moreover, he warned bluntly, the terrorists “have gone to school in what it is that they need to do in order to keep their activities concealed.”

Which is why law enforcement agencies have been pressing Congress to rein in services that encrypt information even from officials with a warrant.

They’d also like to reopen the National Security Agency’s collection of metadata on phone and Internet conversations, shut down by President Obama after Snowden’s illegal document dump.

As the years since 9/11 continued to pass without another major attack here, public complacency and political correctness have led to a growing movement to curb authorities’ ability to track terrorism.

Yet pre-9/11 law enforcement couldn’t connect the dots because it didn’t have all the dots. And the only way to connect them is to collect all you can.

Paris is a powerful reminder that everyone is at risk: A new ISIS video vowed to strike “America at its center in Washington.”

As former CIA Director Michael Hayden noted, “In the wake of Paris, a big stack of metadata doesn’t seem to be the scariest thing in the room.”
