In reply to the discussion: What kind of coward is Edward Snowden? [View all]Th1onein
(8,514 posts)160. How utterly stupid.
They've been warning us for YEARS, and I don't see that anything has changed. In fact, now, they're saying "I told you so."
Whether it's the fact that their "legislative overtures" are just not meeting with success or something else, what difference does it make? We're still being spied on! They've been able to do NOTHING.
I don't blame Snowden for not taking the "proper" route. What good has it done ANYONE before him?
