Kicked and recommended. Uncle Joe Jun 2014 #10

Recommended. Thanks for the post Autumn Jun 2014 #14

That title misstates the poll results. The fact that most people believe Snowden pnwmom Jun 2014 #18

The question becomes did/does PRISM pose a greater threat to the American People Uncle Joe Jun 2014 #20

That's not the issue. Snowden could have and should have released the information pnwmom Jun 2014 #21

They're inextricably tied together, this is all PRISM. Uncle Joe Jun 2014 #22

He never had to release specific details about the information we obtained pnwmom Jun 2014 #82

It doesn't take a great leap of imagination from knowing about PRISM, that we would Uncle Joe Jun 2014 #85

It was the specifics that they released that wouldn't have been known, not the fact pnwmom Jun 2014 #86

By its' very nature PRISM was international, it wasn't just in the U.S. Uncle Joe Jun 2014 #90

Why do you keep obscuring the point? The fact that we spy on other countries isn't news. pnwmom Jun 2014 #92

What specifics? n/t Uncle Joe Jun 2014 #99

Don't play dumb. pnwmom Jun 2014 #102

MYSTIC Uncle Joe Jun 2014 #106

A few months ago the spin was that PRISM was merely a benign way the NSA transfers files Chathamization Jun 2014 #70

Yes. Seriously. Just because a cloud storage company says differently... randome Jun 2014 #177

Where in the article is the conclusion "everything he did was okay" listed that you reference? LanternWaste Jun 2014 #103

I was talking about the subject line of the OP's Post, "Most Americans think .. . " pnwmom Jun 2014 #105

Only 29% now believe he was wrong. pa28 Jun 2014 #19

I think you've confused this survey with an actual scientific poll. What reputable pollster only... Tarheel_Dem Jun 2014 #107

Not to mention, in the PEW poll, there is a very strong correlation with age karynnj Jun 2014 #110

Precisely. The headline of the o.p. is quite misleading. Thanks to Pro for sourcing the pollster. Tarheel_Dem Jun 2014 #111

He has through his avenues released information which harms not only the USA but UK and probably Thinkingabout Jun 2014 #23

can you add any specifics? frylock Jun 2014 #74

Perhaps Start A Pro-NSA Site billhicks76 Jun 2014 #50

Why? You want this one to be a Pro-Greenwald/Snowden site? ProSense Jun 2014 #54

It should be. BillZBubb Jun 2014 #59

No, it shouldn't n/t ProSense Jun 2014 #62

He didn't take any secrets with him to Russia. Maedhros Jun 2014 #94

Yeah yeah yeah, Eko Jun 2014 #128

A huge percentage were in favor of the Iraq war at first. Polls do not validate an action. stevenleser Jun 2014 #63

what did polls say about the Iraq war a year in? frylock Jun 2014 #75

I'm sure whatever the polls said, they weren't startup tech co's, polling only "employed"... Tarheel_Dem Jun 2014 #88

Probably because he did do the right thing. Tierra_y_Libertad Jun 2014 #109

It's very interesting who here doesnt think he did the correct thing. rhett o rick Jun 2014 #123

Thats totally ridiculous. Eko Jun 2014 #126

All I ask is that you keep some prospective.You dont know that Snowden gave the Russians our secrets rhett o rick Jun 2014 #129

Very true, Eko Jun 2014 #131

But we must investigate the NSA to be sure they are acting in our best interest. nm rhett o rick Jun 2014 #132
