General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Why I am skeptical about Edward Snowden. [View all]I'm interested in how you think they "blocked it in the FISA court"? For one thing, that's why we insisted on Congressional oversight. So unless you have some additional information your first statement makes no sense.
As for them tapping into the fiber optic, that is encrypted information. It would be nothing more than gibberish unless they had the encryption key. Which, granted, can be hacked if you have someone smart enough. But, tapping into the fiber optic cables would render the FISC order unnecessary, which was my original argument.
Given all the other untruths that Snowden has given, I sincerely doubt that he was a superuser with the power of root. But even if he was, all he had access to was encrypted data. which, for novices out there, would appear as gibberish.
The FISC order that he leaked directly contradicts all of his claims.
