Thank You President Obama For Listening!

23. Hmmm, okay. I guess your entire idea of "fair treament" is suspect...

Strange you picked such a sterile article to make your point.

I think this interview does SO MUCH MORE to show what actually happens:

What he says the costs were: "Well, I mean, it’s a relief that the long ordeal is over. Unfortunately, I ruined my career. I had loved working at the Justice Department, particularly in the Criminal Division. It was an honor to represent the people of the United States. As a result of that, I incurred significant legal fees, which I still owe. I borrowed money for those legal fees. And, you know, really, probably the biggest impact was on my family. I wasn’t home when the 18 FBI agents rammed through my house, but my wife was, and my kids were. My kids were awakened in their beds by strangers wearing guns. And I don’t think that they will ever get over that. My wife doesn’t feel the same way about our house, doesn’t feel as safe in our house."

So what I get from your spittle flecked post is that you're mostly upset the BLOOD PRICE wasn't paid. And you're partially upset that this wasn't about BOOSHIE's misdeeds. But of course it actually was. It was about his unholy PNAC inspired domestic surveillance lovechild which INEXPLICABLY was continued by President Obama and which would have remained hidden from public knowledge without another whistleblower.

But let's not worry about that. This isn't about wrongdoing or using legal hairsplitting to justify the violation of our rights.

It's about.....some twisted little evil gnome named SNOWDEN!
