"Here's what now should be taken as an operating procedure in any discussion of the NSA..."

47. Instead of slinging arrows from either side,

I'd like to see a discussion on what's acceptable and what isn't. At some point we have to say, we give up a little of our privacy, for the sake of our safety. So where is the line on that?

I'd also be curious to know about those who rail the loudest, at how much info they provide on the various social medias. I see a real hypocrisy there.

While I value my privacy and worry at how much is being willfully taken away in the guise of intelligence gathering, I hope I don't have to like Snowden. Because, I don't like the guy. Two wrongs never make a right. He could have handled this differently. Though, sometimes the means justify the ends, I'm glad we know what the NSA is doing, be it but in dribs and drabs, according to Snowden's whims of press releases. The fact remains he deliberately broke a commitment, he falsely made, it's hard for me not to question his motives.


I'm also curious as to why no other contractors like Snowden haven't come forward to back up his leaks. No biggie, just a musing thought.
