Snowden isn’t stopping, I kind of hope someone takes him out. We don’t need terrorists knowing what we are doing to combat them.
I think that’s too late. IIRC, he already gave everything to the Guardian and they are just choosing to release it in dribs and drabs
Snowden has revealed the government is spying on EVERYONE in total disregard of Constitutional rights and normal expectations of privacy.
I kind of hope someone takes your computer so you won’t call for any more murders by the government.
I find it interesting how few people understand the difference between intelligence-gathering and investigation of a crime.
Intelligence gathering, at least in this case, is by definition focused on trying to find people before they commit a crime. Preventing the crime or terrorist attack. That means, also by definition, sifting through massive amounts of information, most of it utterly innocuous and produced by completely innocent people, to try to isolate out that tiny percentage that is indeed a threat.
If we know who and where the threats are, they are not really much of a threat. They’re just some guy named Mahmud who wakes up in an alley with his throat cut.
Some think that allowing such investigation is too much of an imposition on our civil liberties, and I sympathize with that POV. They should just be aware that if this work is not done, then we give up much of our right to complain when the next 9/11, possibly a nuclear version, occurs.
There are, of course, entirely legitimate debates to be had about the margins of what should and should not be permitted.
Geez, with people like you, who needs liberals? Your rights go out the door right along with the terrorists rights.
Except that they are spying on US citizens.
Terrorist don’t use that anyway.
snowden is a hero for exposing this treason being committed by the goverment
“Snowden isn’t stopping, I kind of hope someone takes him out. We don’t need terrorists knowing what we are doing to combat them.”
Jeez, what a total idiot you are.
I kind of hope someone takes all your communication devices away so we don’t have Americans so oblivious to the Govt’s shredding of the Constitution.
(new word for your vocab dude, “Constitution”....ah, no, not referring to your bodily health.)
Snowmen is doing us all a great service—too bad you are too thick to see that.
Good. The government spooks need to keep sweating.
