Also Iraq did not have any terrorists at the time. We turned Iraq into a terrorist strong hold. So we have more 'enemies' to fight now.
What people need to understand is, our spying by the NSA and other agencies, is not for our protection, but for power and control over us. Even we US citizens are being spied on with the same intent and intensity as our so-called enemies. Enemies we have gone out of our way to make sure they are our enemies.
There is no way one can be demonetizing Edward Snowden and not be supporting the illegal and unconstitutional NSA spying. That is like being for women's right to be kept barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. It doesn't compute.
If you are not in favor of the coups, assassinations, occupations and wars we've been continuously involved in since we sent gunboats to back ex-pat Americans overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy in the 1890s, then how can you be for the spying the NSA is doing on us, US. That is part of the same issue, spying will not and has not stopped any attacks on or in this country, because that is not the intent of the spying in the first place. It is power and control. The NSA was in existence in 2000. Where were their warnings for 9/11? Where were the warnings about the Boston Bomber, the Oklahoma bombings or any other acts of terrorism, ever? The NSA was formed in 1952!
But that is part of the same issue because they, the NSA does not gather info to stop possible attacks on our country. They gather that info to control us.
