Mike Rogers, (R-Mich.), in a reference to Russian president Vladimir Putin, a former head of the Russian security service. “I don’t think that’s a coincidence. this sh*t is exactly why Murica is hated by countries around the world... the blame's always on someone else, not itself. Rogers, appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” said he believes that Snowden’s actions have done significant damage to the U.S. military. again, how can you freaking know? Rep. Mike McCaul (R-Tex.), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said he believes Snowden was “cultivated by a foreign power.” ..."Abandon hope all ye who enter here" “The president very clearly said, ‘We need this capability to keep people safe,’ ” said Feinstein, also appearing on “Meet the Press,” adding that the majority of members on her committee would agree with that. ...I don't even... Opponents of the NSA’s collection of American’s phone records were also heartened by Obama’s speech. Oh, I'm sure Angela Merkel is still worked up over this sh*t. And a billion others. and the best one's the last one: “It showed he was listening to those of us across the political spectrum,” said Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.), on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “We are now in a position to keep faith with the constitution.” hmm... why don't I have faith in Murican constitution? This article had exactly what I didn't like about american politicians' views on NSA, Snowden, privacy, etc. I think this more than enough shows that they are fed up pigs. Enjoy reading the article and getting infuriated by the words of our dearly Murican politicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 19, 2014 I first read the title as "musician politicians" ... Did they try to fiddle Snowden to death? People do know he did nothing wrong and actually informed then that our government is spying on everyone, illegally, right? I hate people more than our government, they're the idiots that gave them these powers over the years. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you know Snowden did that... How about putting foreign operations against enemies of the United States at jeopardy, do you agree that is okay? Do you also agree hacking is okay, because if you do I have a few things to get to work on? Open your mind, and engage your brain for a few seconds. And there are real questions that should be asked about if he was being cultivated and controlled by a foreign power. From a Intelligence standpoint, the Snowden leak is even more damaging then probably Hanssen, Ames, and the Five combined. And that is saying something, all things considered. Oh and FYI, who would have thought those guys would have turned to the dark side of the USSR, but hey, you won't even question that Snowden might have been turned. Ugh, you make me sick actually, fanboys of Snowden. Ewww. Edit: Oh and one last thing, when is it okay to break Federal Law?

Posted January 20, 2014 I agree that Snowden did damage to the US Military that is a fact nothing to argue about that.And it was a crime what he did so he should get in jail for what he did, but so should the NSA.Because what they're doing is clearly "NOT" because of security reasons.The average US citizen has higher risk to die from a lightning strike,car accident,gang fights ect. then from a terrorist attack.If they would really care about safety they wouldn't allow complete broken cars on the streets that kill every day a few people in the US.And if they collect so much data then they should have enough information about so many Gangs,Paedophile ect. to put them in jail and to really make this country more safe.They should rather put all that money into something more use full like getting the infrastructure up to date.

That is the first distinction you must make. He didn't sell it nor did he trade it for asylum either. For someone who was supposidly in the Intelligence community you make a lot of assumptions. As to the rest of your argument I won't waste my time except on your last point. The US Government has continually abused and broken who knows how many laws via the NSA and the CIA over the years. Are they not accountable? You seem to hold everyone else accountable except the person enforcing the laws.

Posted January 20, 2014 Not sure if serious. Deadly serious. I mean, if you people would do more research instead of fawning over Snowden you'd know a thing or two. Of course, I mean people do worship the guy that complains about the US, but keeps his trap shut about Russia and other Countries... I mean, that is a hypocrite. I mean, all the people complaining about the US on here are just as much so because every time I point it out, people just go so what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what you are saying is when he released THIS information it doesn't count? Boy oh boy, for someone so ready to defend we failed to do research did we not. That isn't an assumption buddy, that is FACT jack. Again, believe what you want to believe, but you can't change the facts to suit your theories of he didn't do it. That IS releasing Operational Information. Again, research helps a WHOLE lot. By the way, how did you like Dam?

I never said he didn't release operational information. I said he didn't give operational information to any SINGLE country and that he DID NOT SELL said information. He revealed all kinds of information. That goes without saying. For someone who is so ready to call others out on what they supposedly said, you really should READ what they said before trying to disprove them. Reading comprehension is key. As to him releasing OI or any information be that methods of gathering intel, I don't care.
