6. One thing never mentioned is what Snowden has done to "legitimate" analysts in the field

He certainly hasn't made their lives easier....I bet he doesn't have many friends among them anymore.You know ones that actually obey the laws. (Just because you CAN drive over 100 mph....doesn't mean that you have done it....very damn few people have done that). If what he is contending were true....wouldn't there be more willing to stand with him...you know the old "I am Edward Snowden" type scenario?

That's the reason you haven't heard any of them come forward to support his contentions...is that he has probably made their lives incredibly difficult as well.

I totally agree with you about this. reusrename Jul 2013 #29

So your hero Snowden was nothing more than a "robosigner" similar to those used by mortgage co's VanillaRhapsody Jul 2013 #31

So what kind of hell is raining down on these guys? reusrename Jul 2013 #33

The original story that WaPo backtracked on? n/t ProSense Jul 2013 #10

It's dated 7/6 and is about a parallel program to PRISM that goes straight to fiber optic cables. dkf Jul 2013 #15
