Edward Snowden completely abandoned girlfriend, says her father

189. The domestic info gathering must stop, however . . .

being that other countries, hostile ones and even our allies spy on us, you better believe we should be in the game of trying to intercept, through covert operations, possible threats to our country.

And btw, did you know that there are stirrings to release Jonathan Pollard who spied on us for Israel in the 1980s? That's right, Israel, our staunchest ally in the Middle East spies on us and you can bet many other countries do as well.

As I said in the title to this post, I'm with you on the domestic spying but Snowden went too far with the international revelations as even the little we know that was publically released has damaged international relationships. So c'mon, it's not about — and these are your words — "I guess your parents never told you, Just because everybody else does it, doesn't mean it's right."

It's the real, grown up world out there and there are bad actors we need to keep tabs on. Even us progressives should be aware of that.
