IF you are condemning Snowden AND not actually holding the federal government responsible for this huge breach of security...then why NOT? Just think the one subject is good enough to rant about? NO SIR, this is very bad and will get worse as the years go by. Our security has been compromised by private industry that evidently the government approves of. A very flawed private industry as we see now. Dangerous? About as dangerous as it can get.

All I hear is the *crickets* and they don't seem to comprehend this huge black hole in the middle of our surveillance community. That has the backing of both parties.
