(1,370 posts)You're right Snowden did this country a favor yet it seems he's placed under more scrutiny than the people responsible for creating a surveillance state.
I hear more bitching about Snowden's motives, he's egotistical and wants center stage, he's a traitor, he left the country, Putin's puppet,etc...
And the motives of the NSA and the politicians who supported the "overreach" ,or the CIA actually spying on the people elected to represent us because they were investigating CIA "overreach"?
I guess we've gotten so complacent that we now expect to get reamed by our government but anyone who takes a risk to expose the continued abuse of our civil liberties better be a f-ing angel, and be willing to face "harsh interrogation techniques" and spend thirty years in solitary confinement.
