>>>His mission to widen the influence of Russia throughout the world is in full force. There are new oil and gas supply agreements with countries throughout Europe, and supplying Japan with gas from Sakhalin Island. New military cooperation agreements with not only old Soviet republics and the Mid-East but widening into South America and Central America put us into a secondary player role. These military cooperation agreements include not just weapons, aircraft and naval vessels, but in some cases, Russian military personnel.<<<

What influence? Russian economic power is at least 7 times shorter than of US, it’s population is twice shorter.

Tell me: If YOU had access to this type if information, and knew full well that the “powers that be” would do ANYTHING to quash its dissemination, including assassination, would YOU stick around?

Or would you just try to leak bits and pieces from what you think is a secure location?

Or would you just sit on it, hoping (vainly) that someone ELSE had the cojones to spill the beans?

He did not have to leak it directly.

In that community there are people who would love to expose Obozo’s abuses. Those on the edge of it, not bound by legal agreements could handle it.

Remnember several journalists that played that game in the past.

There are a lot of X-Mil people who would love to help someone like this.

I think he chose poorly his options.

Things that make you go Hmmmmm.....

What I find very curious is the way none of this has stuck to Obama.

How Snowden made a Beeline to the Communists.

Now the question, who is actually conducting the searches of the data?

The NSA? The DHS? The CIA? The Netroots? The puke Obots?

If Obozo co opted the data from the NSA for his own database on every citizen and aimed the result at his political opponents, when will Congress act to halt this.

It is clear that Obozo used the IRS against his enemies. That obviously originated in the White Hut. I am sure with no absolute proof that Obozo himself directed it.

What would he do with this tool?

Is this why the Congress is silent? Does he have that much on every congressman?

The Hoover FBI under LBJ did exactly that. Using paper though.

Obozo is pure Evil.

I'm pretty sure you are wrong about that. You have to balance whatever good that Snowden may have done against the damage he has done to our national security.

The good is easily seen. The damage is much more difficult to assess. But it is there, perhaps in spades, as the author obviously believes.

You should read the article again and the info on Ann-Marie below. You might change your mind about her being an Obama supporter. There is very little chance of that.

Snowden let us know that our government is not much different from the KGB run soviet government, at least that is where they(our government) want to take us. They’ve told us in 100 subtle ways over the last 10 years, and boldly/blatantly to our faces since Obama came into office, that being a tyrannical oppressive communist power is their goal. Having a strong KGB/Stasi type national security agency spying on its own citizens is a necessary tactical ability to achieve complete tyranny over us.

If anyone really believes our strength and security as a country are dependent on having a spy/intelligence agency like NSA they are sadly mistaken. The types of things going on in our country means that Putin doesn’t have to do anything, we are already there.

Our strength as a country depend on the inner moral character and spiritual strength of our citizens, coupled with a a true patriotism formed from our citizens being taught our true history, the Biblical foundations of liberty, and what our constitution really says, and a belief that it still works. With all that, we cannot be overtaken. Without it (which is where I believe we are now) no “intelligence” agency is capable of defending us from the treasonous sellouts that inevitably take positions of power when a country falls into moral anarchy.

I’m waiting for the Snowden critics to admit and acknowledge Snowden Himself said he was neither hero or Traitor but a pissed American.

Crickets, yourself.

And by the way, I’m not listening anymore to people who don’t understand data systems, no matter how much I respect them on other issues.

I am sure it is NSA.
I think it is hilarious that DARPA invents the internet and everyone is shocked to learn that the Gov knows how to pry into everything you do on it.

People love them some GPS which was developed my the Gov and they are shocked that the Gov knows where you are.

Obama love him some surveillance.

Clearly and well stated.

I agree totally.

And it is frightening.

It is in God’s hands at this point. It has been on several occasions in our nations history. The founders understood the action of divine providence.

I'll admit it. If he said he said it. That doesn't speak to his judgement, just his beliefs. They may have been quite honorable in his own mind. He saw a problem and he thought he saw a way of fixing that problem. The question is was the damage done worth it. Maybe. Maybe not. We don't know yet but I'm leaning on the side that it wasn't worth it.

Opinions on that subject will differ. That's what forums are for. That's where we discuss those differences.

The damage to our intelligence community and national security is immeasurable. The only thing we have gleaned from this is our security policy is lacking: miserably. Unfortunately, we’ll be paying a heavy price.

What damage would that be? That our intelligence community is spying on us and storing all our data? (hey, NSA!)

Snowden was obviously working with someone else; he had to have help, considering the path he took to our enemies. He probably would have given the information to the Taliban if he wasn’t scared they might kill him just for the heck of it using religious grounds as a reason.

Oh, please, what a drama queen.
