Whistleblower protections need to be reinstated, like it or not, the entire Snowden debacle lies mother earth Jan 2014 #5

You mean the expansion of whistleblower protections that Obama instituted, right? randome Jan 2014 #14

Protections exempting the intelligence community? & What of Clapper misleading Congress? mother earth Jan 2014 #18

So like a petulant child, Snowden demanded things should be done HIS way instead of the legal way. randome Jan 2014 #20

Congress is a moot point because they aren't doing what they should be doing as far as mother earth Jan 2014 #23

Absolutely agree with you there. randome Jan 2014 #25

The whole narrative of Snowden being hero or traitor, lies on this known fact. When the safeguards mother earth Jan 2014 #26

Interesting Savannahmann Jan 2014 #45

Too bad Snowden couldn't steal anything more than internal NSA documents. randome Jan 2014 #59

And why not? Titonwan Jan 2014 #62

Snowden isn't being critical of the government. He is actively trying to subvert it. randome Jan 2014 #67

Full complete pardon and medal of freedom. All within Obama's power on point Jan 2014 #10

Pretty desperate when the new talking point is that Snowden is a racist riderinthestorm Jan 2014 #17

Leakers should be 'shot in the balls' when Bush was in office. randome Jan 2014 #24

Thanks! I like to know the next talking point when they come out. hootinholler Jan 2014 #21

You just lost a lot of credibility by accusing Snowden of racism with absolutely no proof. last1standing Jan 2014 #50

It's a topic that's been brought up before regarding Snowden. randome Jan 2014 #53

It's been brought up without any proof. That makes it a slur. last1standing Jan 2014 #55

'Everyone I don't like'? Or only Snowden? randome Jan 2014 #57

I don't know if you've used racism smears against others. Is that important? last1standing Jan 2014 #60

Oh...would it be better for him to have his inevitable "accident" here, closer to home? Romulox Jan 2014 #15
