If this is true, and this is legal, why is Diane Feinstein calling Snowden's actions treason? That would imply that she views that making Americans aware of this legal data mining is aiding the enemy - the AMERICAN PEOPLE.
For the same reason that Boner called him a traitor.
Quoted Text
House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) didn't mince words Tuesday when offering his assessment of 29-year-old National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden.
“He’s a traitor,” Boehner said in an interview with ABC. “The disclosure of this information puts Americans at risk. It shows our adversaries what our capabilities are. And it’s a giant violation of the law.”

white wash.....sitting in a diner with a few friends talking about our private lives...police officer sitting in next booth writing down your conversation and filing it is OK?
your definition of unprotected means you agree that the ONLY protection you ever deserve as a human being is that which a fellow human, set above yourself can legislate and call your worth/value/protection....
WOW!
JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS LEGAL DOESN'T MAKE IT RIGHT JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS ILLEGAL DOESN'T MAKE IT WRONG
what makes you a valuable human being? only that which is legislated to give you value/rights?
Nobody is buying boxes arguments don't worry.

Yup there it is again, box trying to turn this into a left right issue, he knows unity is not good for his cause so expect to see him try even harder to divide.

Traitor is different than treason. MUCH DIFFERENT!

treason 1. the offense of acting to overthrow one's government or to harm or kill its sovereign. 2. a violation of allegiance to one's sovereign or to one's state. 3. the betrayal of a trust or confidence; breach of faith; treachery.

Senders. I just posted the definition which I agree with. Your comments, like most, are irreverent.

Good Job! Now you know the difference! Feinstein is calling informing the American people of what you consider "legal" data mining as a treasonous act. My God! How can you continue to attempt to justify the words of these tyrants? First you are defending the program as legal, now you are defending Feinstein calling it treason. Telling the American people they are collecting their electronic communications is now treason - amazing!

you ignored my question to you.
you agree with gun control for 'safety' so it stands that you agree to the actions of NSA for 'safety'.... therefore you believe that humans deserve another human to tell them their value/freedom/relevance etc....
you believe in PRE-CRIME, inch by inch by inch by inch by inch by inch by inch by inch by inch by inch by inch by inch
oh LOOK, those 12 inches typed in one line, which could be a line of words in a legislated law, hence, give them an inch and there goes the F'EN foot.....

Cicero's convoluted logic is running away with him again.
Can Feinstein be right in calling a whistle blower's actions 'treasonous'? Yes. Can the data mining program be 'legal'? Yes.
Cissy has a problem with logic. In his mind these two statements can't co exist.

Now look up the definition of "straw man".
