(4,906 posts)snowden leaked info. .some of us are happy about it because we are addressing it. I'm glad we are discussing it. What we should be discussing is why a company owned by the Carlyle group is private contracting to the NSA and profiting to the tune of about 40 billion yearly all the while illegally surveiling millions of us.. There is something very wrong with that for starters. Fourth amendment rights are violated, what are we gonna do about that? There are a lot of thing which this leak has set in motion. Some rethinking needs to happen here. In broad daylight. That's why he is a hero to some. He pulled the monster out from under the bed and now we're trying to figure out away to cage it.
Forget that Snowden didn't do things the way you wanted him to? Bottom line is that he did something which has us talking about things that we weren't talking about around the world and in this country in May. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
