I have to say, though, I had to smh at all that silliness.

Cheated upon spouses have had this capability for eons--it's called a keylogger, and they can see every keystroke that (place tongue firmly in cheek, now) miserable rotten cheating (name your favorite gender specific bee word) has typed to (his/her) goddamn (more swear) (more swear) so-and-so who has been (pick one or all: a) eating my supper; b) sleeping in my bed; c) watching my tee vee, d) using my towels; e) banging my spouse) etc., etc., and so forth! Call the divorce lawyer, print out the evidence!

I am not endorsing this product, I have never had need of one-- this is simply an example of one of these things--you don't have to work at NSA to get one: http://www.webwatcher.com/

Snowden Fan Club, Sorry, But Snowden Lied about the email to the NSA General Counsel [View all] berni_mccoy May 2014 OP

Anti-Snowden Fan Club - it is what Snowden revealed that is important. None of the nit-picking djean111 May 2014 #1

What did Snowden reveal that wasn't already known? berni_mccoy May 2014 #4

Quite a bit actually nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #61

Richard Clarke would disagree with you berni_mccoy May 2014 #70

Richard Clark might disagree with me nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #75

The fact is, what was revealed did more harm than good. berni_mccoy May 2014 #77

It did a lot if harm to those nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #82

You're wrong about that too. In order to claim he is a whistleblower and his actions were justified stevenleser May 2014 #6

It's also clear that the journalists he initially contacted are accessories to the crime MohRokTah May 2014 #8

I'm waiting to see more evidence on that but it would not surprise me at all. stevenleser May 2014 #22

He asked a question about a portion of a course he did not understand. MADem May 2014 #15

Then why do so many DU'ers spend such a huge amount of time defending Snowden KittyWampus May 2014 #48

because its not about Snowden of course >.> nt Bodhi BloodWave May 2014 #110

You would think if Snowden is a whistle blower he would had saved his emails. . B Calm May 2014 #2

That's exactly what I thought when he brought this up in the interview. berni_mccoy May 2014 #5

I have been saying that from the start....IF he was such a good Systems Admin....he would have VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #28

The fact is that Snowden is lying & has been lying all along. baldguy May 2014 #3

Even if that's all true, it's ad hominem thesquanderer May 2014 #14

Richard Clarke, you know, the guy who DU Loves because he said Bush committed War Crimes berni_mccoy May 2014 #17

Okay, that's a debate worth having thesquanderer May 2014 #33

It's not ad hominem. It goes to his character. baldguy May 2014 #34

What NSA accusations of his turned out to be false? thesquanderer May 2014 #40

Not ad hominem. If the question is whether or not he tells the truth, his truthfulness is at issue. baldguy May 2014 #57

Where did he say the NSA can read your mind? thesquanderer May 2014 #74

Snowden said they can read our thoughts as we are formulating them, in the BW interview. MADem May 2014 #96

Did he mean that in the same sense of how Facebook works? thesquanderer May 2014 #98

Yes, he specifically referenced editing a document, and expressed shock and dismay!!!!!! MADem May 2014 #101

His revealing military secrets is not ad hominem, and I don't see the "good" whathehell May 2014 #42

I missed the fact that he revealed military secrets. dballance May 2014 #44

Here's one instance.. whathehell May 2014 #79

That's not exactly news for anyone who belives they may be tracked because they're a Terrorist dballance May 2014 #90

Apparently, it was news for them. whathehell May 2014 #133

This is false many low levels dont know what can be tracked uponit7771 Jun 2014 #155

I'm having difficulty undersgtanding your point. dballance Jun 2014 #156

I did not say that all attacks against him were ad hominem, thesquanderer May 2014 #52

I'd say a reputation for lying is highly relevant in his case n/t whathehell May 2014 #81

This isn't a party line issue. It's not Liberals go this way, Conservatives go that way. MADem May 2014 #16

Correct, it's not a simple party division thesquanderer May 2014 #43

Advocating for Ron Paul does not help your cause. baldguy May 2014 #59

What hypocrisy? thesquanderer May 2014 #63

The unifying attribute is having libertarian values. ozone_man May 2014 #89

I think it is maybe a bit more complex than that (with some, granted, not all). MADem May 2014 #95

He is either a chronic liar and a con-artist.... VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #31

Both. baldguy May 2014 #45

Yes that is what I meant to say.... VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #46

Well damn baldguy, you should pipe up more often. Tarheel_Dem May 2014 #104

You believe the NSA? caseymoz May 2014 #7

How do you believe or not believe the NSA? treestar May 2014 #132

His e-mail looks like bait to pin any alleged abuses on the President and other higher up. BenzoDia May 2014 #12

And you believe the NSA. Fuddnik May 2014 #18

And Snowden has no vested interest in lying? eom 1StrongBlackMan May 2014 #21

Is it an either/or choice? Or can there be more layers to the onion? nt msanthrope May 2014 #25

i haven't watched the interview; Did BW ask Snowden why he didn't keep copies of the emails? n/t yodermon May 2014 #27

A good journalist would have. berni_mccoy May 2014 #30

If snowden/greenwald were to release the emails tomorrow, would you believe them to be legit copies yodermon May 2014 #56

Why don't you ask Richard Clarke berni_mccoy May 2014 #67

..right after i mention "appeal to authority" yodermon May 2014 #80

There is no fallacy when the appeal is to an actual authority on the subject being discussed. Ikonoklast May 2014 #86

that was probably on the DONOTASK or this Interview is over requirements.. VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #49
