Remark by Grant Devereaux about the NSA surveillance...

6. He is right. This has been going on for years

and not a peep out of anyone. If we had known then and most of us did, it would not have made much difference because we felt safer. What is happening now is that someone working there wanted to be a hero and outed a lot. I give Mr Snowden very little slack because he has caused uproar all over the country. Unnecessary uproar. It is hard for me to believe the dialog that has gone on on DU because of this. Most are outraged that they are "being spied upon". Some want to give Snowden a medal, A medal to someone who wrote his material as soon as he reached Hong Kong. And those senators and representatives who got their fannies up on their shoulders about it should be ousted because they did not hold up to their oaths when they went to Washington because they missed all the meetings held about it. And of course the Republicans are loving it and adding to it while rubbing their hands together in glee. Go ahead and feel anyway you desire. I was not afraid before but I sure am now!
