In reply to the discussion: CEO Who Resisted NSA Spying Out Of Prison, Vindicated By Snowden [View all]7962
(11,841 posts)You make a lot of good points in your post. And you're right, once you give up a right its GONE. I dont think you're hairs on fire at all! A lot of people here are willing to look the other way on a lot of things because a Republican isnt the President, but they forget that whatever precedent Obama sets can also be used if a Republican DOES get back in the White House. Then everyone here will be raising holy hell about it!
And I am not one who thinks Snowden was right in what he did, either. No way should he have gone to China and Russia. And another problem I have is that early on he stated that he went through everything and wouldnt release anything that put anyone in any danger or hurt our intelligence. But he has done just that; compromising ongoing programs overseas that have nothing to do with spying on us here in the US.
But thats another thread!
