Chose to go with the ad hominem argument? Good choice when you want to avoid the obvious answer.
You know Boxy can't answer, since this is classified as one of those 'phony' scandals that doesn't exist.
As more and more things come out, Boxy will get his talking orders from the DNC....If the pattern holds true, it will start off with an event that happened between 30 and 5000 years ago

Nixon spying on the opposition party was minuscule compared to NSA spying.
Told you.

He gets credit for almost 4 years of that sentence due to time served...He has to serve 1/3 of that sentence before the possibility of parole...so he COULD get out in 8-9 years...
While I do have some sympathy for Snowden, I don't have much for Manning.. mainly because his leaks could have more directly effected operations on the ground.

I'm with you 55b. I don't think what Manning did was evil, but it would establish a precedent of someone at a very low level personally making a decision as to what should be out there. His being part of the military makes it different, IMO. Our president was lying about a domestic spying program. Semantics don't make any difference, and this guy is as sneaky as they come. He got where he is because people suspended normal, healthy skepticism because they so wanted to believe. BTW, Bush lied too, he was nowhere near as lying and sneaky as this guy. He was supposed to correct the abuses of the Bush era, that's why people voted for him, except of course for those with the insane desire to prove themselves innocent of racism.
I agree with you Madam.....but if the truth be known.........americans have been lied to for decades and decades. the government aka LAME STREAM MEDIA, created, gave speeches on and spilled out via the media....lies and distortions! it was THEY that created this false reality that only the sheople call their reality!!!
From cradle to grave humans are subjected to institutional manipulative lies. it's the only way to control the masses, get people elected and pass legislation!
This form of mass manipulation has been going on for centuries!!!
It's used in politics, religion, schools, advertising/marketing..............EVERYTHING!!!
NOWHERE.....NOWHERE in this society is INDEPENDENT THINKING encouraged or taught!! THEY expect us to do just the opposite...........and the sheople do!!!

The NSA seal is protected by Public Law 86-36, which states that it is not permitted for “…any person to use the initials ‘NSA,’ the words ‘National Security Agency’ and the NSA seal without first acquiring written permission from the Director of NSA.”
The NSA is the only department in the government that's really listening to us.
LOL!

To hunt Osama bin Laden, satellites watched over Abbottabad, Pakistan, and Navy SEALs Thanks NSA! Good Job!
Quoted Text
The U.S. commando raid that killed Osama bin Laden was guided from space by a fleet of satellites, which aimed dozens of receivers over Pakistan to collect a torrent of electronic and signals intelligence as the mission unfolded, according to a top-secret U.S. intelligence document.
The National Security Agency also was able to penetrate guarded communications among al-Qaeda operatives by tracking calls from mobile phones identified by specific calling patterns, the document shows. Analysts from the CIA pinpointed the geographic location of one of the phones and linked it to the compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, where other evidence suggested bin Laden was hiding.
Also playing a role in the search for bin Laden was an arm of the NSA known as the Tailored Access Operations group. Among other functions, the group specializes in surreptitiously installing spyware and tracking devices on targeted computers and mobile phone networks.
Although the budget does not provide detail, it reports that Tailored Access Operations “implants” enabled the NSA to collect intelligence from mobile phones that were used by al-Qaeda operatives and other “persons of interest” in the hunt for bin Laden.
Separately, Tailored Access Operations were used in April 2011, the month before bin Laden was killed, when U.S. forces in Afghanistan relied on signals intelligence from implants to capture 40 low- and mid-level Taliban fighters and other insurgents in that country, according to the documents.
