Russia: Snowden can stay

[brush]

158. I've said all alone, and in the post you responded to that . . .

Snowden's revelations of the NSA domestic information gathering is a good thing and the spying should be STOPPED.

IMO that is a separate issue from the international covert spying. And you don't know anymore than anyone else that the international info gathering "is not for our protection, but for power and control over us". I want someone trying to intercept communications by groups that may be targeting internal targets like trains, bus and cars for bombings like what happens often in other countries.

You sited the Boston bombing and the OKC bombing but you don't know how many attacks have been intercepted. They may not stop all of them but someone has to do it.

Are you advocating that on one should be trying to stop these kinds of things?

And I'll say it again to be clear. Snowden did a good thing with the revelations on domestic spying on American citizens as you seem, from your response, to have not understood my position.
