Do not misunderstand me. I DO NOT SUPPORT THE NSA DOMESTIC SPYING PROGRAM. It scares me that they are mining data on all Americans. That should worry us all. If ALL Snowden did was reveal THAT program, I would have supported him. But he also revealed other nations we spy on, both friend and foe, and HOW we spy on them, causing damage on FOREIGN data gathering which is essential. Moreover, the damage and distrust it has caused in the minds of Americans fits nicely into the subversion and demoralization process the KGB started decades ago. While it’s healthy and ESSENTIAL to have a certain amount of distrust for our gov’t., it is not healthy to say...as I have read conservatives post...that Russia is a better place, and calling our own agencies the “stasi”.
If you dislike my use of the term Stasi, you’ll really dislike my description of the “service” you provide on them.
