Agreed!!!! The downside is traitors like Obama forced him to seek asylum in Russia where eventually all Snowden knows will be taken from him. But the NSA and its contractors love this!!! And maybe made sure this happened. Now they can earn more billions repairing this situation. That the Russians will soon know everything about NSA operations
Yup.
Fully agree.
I’m seriously thinking about dusting off my coding skills to help in the effort.
The net:net is that the whole of the US computing industry that knuckled under to the NSA needs to be severely punished with off-shore competition. The message needs to be sent that if they co-operate with the NSA, they lose money. Big money.
What? a branch of the government lying? What a surprise.
Period.
I think you are saying is that spying on and storing communications.... The NSA is only interested in Americans for reasons Obama and his minions approve of. People outside America are of no interest to NSA. Which is the opposite of the NSA charter and which they obeyed until a few years ago.
Now those same people tell us that its for our own good.
What's the next horror citizens will be forced rationalize?
"And yet Republican leaders (like Lindsay Graham, Peter King, et al) assure us that theres nothing to see here - the NSA spying is necessary to catch terrorists"
Yep. And who can forget Mr. Man of Ideas from NJ- a guy who thinks it's "dangerous" for people to be concerned about government spying and intimidation?
Folks might as well get used to all this. The gov-mint is going to do this regardless of what the people of this Republic say or any court says. But mostly the liberal courts are going to let the dimocrats do whatever they want to do. Nixon got run out of town on rails for what he did, and this criminal thug does worse and is put on a high pedestal and considered a god by the liberal media. This nation has been judged by God for our actions and this is the results. We have been given a president to do just what this nation turned into. America is not getting its punishment. Obama is our punishment. The actions of our government, the types of individuals in our government, our leadership, the media, Hollyweird, etc. These are what America turned into. We have been judged.
“lie” is such a harsh accusation; how about “least untruthful” statements possible?
Here’s what I intend to do about it:

There, NOW they know we mean business...
Damn! That’s some major stuff you have planned!!
Say, will you be having a BBQ afterwards? I’ll bring the beer!

Narus is used by the NSA for real-time content analytics coming from the Tier-1 Internet pipes. From their Solutions page:
Cyber 3.0: Rise of the MachinesTo adapt to the future of cyber, we have to rely on machines to make fast, incisive, critical decisions. Narus cyber analytics solutions apply machine-based algorithms at the atomic metadata level. They fuse enormous volumes of data and continuously learn from new data dynamics for deeper, richer knowledge that provides contextualized, definite answers that are useful for human analysts.
"NSA mission creep is contractor driven. "
I would say mission creep is stakeholder driven - broader than just the contractors. Scale and funding = power, so the gov agents gain power with scope.
But more frightening is that Knowledge = power.
J. E. Hoover learned early that everyone has hidden skeletons of one form or another. So this massive effort for "Total Information Awareness" has taken over the goal of lining one's own pockets with the scraps from IT contracts, to having total leverage over any person or group through complete 360 degree knowledge of everyone - their thoughts, actions, and associations (even types of associations and details of transactions).
