Snowden is an ethically challenged useful idiot who did not use the resources available to him to make his concerns known to those who are responsible.

I do not believe, at the moment, they have to ability to “listen” to all phone conversations, but, with the phone numbers in the meta data they can rapidly drill down and listen to the conversations of interest if the conversations are recorded. It is when conversations can be analyzed in real time that I believe that the boundary has been overstepped. Your conduct is in the national interest and you have to prove you are innocent instead of proven guilty.

And, of course, the power hungry sob’s responsible would have listened to him, right?

"Snowden...did not use the resources available to him to make his concerns known to those who are responsible."

What available resources? The MSM? His congressman? Even if he would have taken his info directly to Ted Cruz or Rand Paul, Snowden would have found himself riding shotgun with Michael Hastings.

I’ve got a newsflash for you:

They’re recording phone calls, emails, the works. It goes into a huge data vacuum cleaner and stored on petabytes of disk storage.

Then, when they want to examine what you’ve said, they not only put out a query for what you’re GOING to say, but what you’ve ALREADY said.
