It is your feeling only. Many others think Snowden is playing on the CIA side. I see the CIA as complicit in a lot of real bad stuff in this Country including the JFK assassination.
They are extremely intrusive to say the least. This goes directly against the concept of the 4th amendment which is exactly what Snowdwn, Assange and the rest where arguing from the beginning.
Yes, of course it makes the NSA look bad as it freaking should. Keyscore one button can collect everything you have ever done in your life and your family what they've done. From shopping lists to dogs name.
I agree the CIA isn’t our friend there is no doubt about that. Question though. Is the NSA your friend?
