Malcome Nance to Edward Snowdon.....

[delisen]

97. I don't see the proof of that. He is in a bad position. He

probably made the same mistaken assumptions about Wikileaks that many on the left had made--before Assange showed his hand.

for the time being Snowden is trapped.

James Clapper however is free and probably enjoying a generous person despite lying to Sen Wyden and Congress about the fact he was engaging in exactly what Snowden accused him of- spying on us.

Remember the testimony in Congress:


In March 2013, James Clapper testified under oath about NSA monitoring US citizens.

Wyden: “I hope we can do this in just a yes or no answer, because I know Sen. Feinstein wants to move on. Last summer, the NSA director (Keith Alexander) was at a conference and he was asked a question about the NSA surveillance of Americans. He replied, and I quote here, ‘The story that we have millions, or hundreds of millions, of dossiers on people is completely false.’ The reason I’m asking the question is, having served on the committee now for a dozens years, I don’t really know what a dossier is in this context. So, what I wanted to see if you could give me a yes or no answer to the question: Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions, or hundreds of millions of Americans?”

Clapper: “No, sir.”

Wyden: “It does not?”

Clapper: “Not wittingly. There are cases where they could inadvertently, perhaps, collect, but not wittingly.”

Later Clapper had to admit to his lie.

What Clapper and the NSA did was wrong. As a citizen I want to know When government over reaches. Democracy depends on truth. Snowden told the truth.

The consent of the people is important.
