YOU refuse to believe the guy that took these documents from the NSA and was able to leak a program that intercepted phone and email records, yet they couldn't stop one of their own contractors.
It amazes me that you have more faith in the ability of these foreign governments to hack that information from his computers, and the American government couldn't prevent.
Here's one you flag waving patriots can say.
Snowden is such a smart AMERICAN that was able to sneak this information out of one of AMERICA's GREAT spy agencies, then he must be smart enough to keep them out of the hands of our ENEMIES.
There you go again....you want to play games instead of having honest discussions. You paraphrase to your advantage to distort what people say. You tag people with things they didn't say or support in an attempt to bait them into revealing information about themselves that is none of your business. I won't defend myself against your stupidity and arrogance...you want to make up all kinds of stuff then be my guest...
EVERYTHING YOU SAY IS FULLY SUBSTANTIATED BY YOUR OWN OPINION!!!!
JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!

It feels like playing the game of Chess with the mentally handicapped.
I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed person!!!!!

a guy robs a liquor store, runs out the door-down the street and get shot by a drone- whats the problem ?
Did he rob a liquor store in Miami and shot by a drone dispatched from Bangor Maine under the justification that he was an "immanent threat" to the residents of Bangor?
The real analogy would be a guy in Miami was allegedly planning to rob a liquor store in Bangor, and the Bangor police traveled to Miami and killed him before he could, and did so without ever giving the suspected robber the opportunity to defend himself of the allegations. Because the threat was immanent of course. So the Bangor police say. And no independent court can ever review the evidence that supported the allegations.
Germany’s warning to America: “You are entering the American sector. Your privacy ends here”
Berlin – East Germany’s Stasi has long been considered the standard of police state surveillance during the Cold War years, a monitoring regime so vile and so intrusive that agents even noted when their subjects were overheard engaging in sexual intercourse. Against that backdrop, Germans have greeted with disappointment, verging on anger, the news that somewhere in a U.S. government databank are the records of where millions of people were when they made phone calls or what video content they streamed on their computers in the privacy of their homes.Even Schmidt, 73, who headed one of the more infamous departments in the infamous Stasi, called himself appalled. The dark side to gathering such a broad, seemingly untargeted, amount of information is obvious, he said.
“It is the height of naivete to think that once collected this information won’t be used,” he said. “This is the nature of secret government organizations. The only way to protect the people’s privacy is not to allow the government to collect their information in the first place.”

Greenwald on ‘coming’ leak: NSA can obtain one billion cell phone calls a day, store them and listen in Breaking News 5 hours ago
The NSA has a “brand new” technology that enables one billion cell phone calls to be redirected into its data hoards, according to the Guardian’s Glen Greenwald, who told a Chicago conference that a new leak of Snowden’s documents was ‘coming soon.’ Calling it part of a “globalized system to destroy all privacy,” and the enduring creation of a climate of fear, Greenwald outlined the capabilities of the NSA to store every single call while having “the capability to listen to them at any time,” while speaking via Skype to the Socialism Conference in Chicago, on Friday. Greenwald was the first journalist to leak Snowden’s documents, having travelled to Hong Kong to review them prior to exposure. “What we’re really talking about here is a globalized system that prevents any form of electronic communication from taking place without its being stored and monitored by the National Security Agency,” he said. While he underlined that the NSA are not necessarily listening in on the full billion calls, he pointed out their capability to do so and the lack of accountability with “virtually no safeguards” which the NSA were being held to. http://rinf.com/alt-news/break.....em-and-listen/46498/
