"The reality is this: if an NSA, FBI, CIA, DIA, etc analyst has access to query raw SIGINT databases, they can enter and get results for anything they want. Phone number, email, user id, cell phone handset id (IMEI), and so on—it's all the same," Snowden replied.

Dead man talking

[driftdiver]

yes the story is about him, not about the database where this information is stored. Information on every single American citizen.

[Jeff Head]

Snowden comes across as a naive, and foolish young man. However, he has done us all a service by blowing the lid on this for whatever reasons. PRISM and the programs associaetd with it are establishing an hugely obtrusive Federal surveillance of all American citizens. What was billed to be directed only at ISlamic terrorists...we could "trust them," on that, has turned into a massive program that by default gathers info on us all.

And, it is leading to much more dredible sources regarding what is going on stepping forward.

SNOWDEN, PRISM, AND THE NSA

27 STATEMENTS BY SNOWDEN ON PRISM

The best expose on PRISM now comes from the 40 year career NSA employee, William Benny, who became the director of Intelligence there under Geroge W. Bush. He has gone public since Snowden and detailed the full capabilities of PRISM and what the NSA was doing.

Former Director of NSA Intelligence reveals the full extent of PRISM capabilities. MUST SEE!

I don’t understand why Cheney, for example, is so eager to call this guy a traitor.

All he released is “metadata”: information about the information.

Any decent spy from another country would already behave as if every phone was bugged, wouldn’t they?

Hell the Mafia has assumed that since 1930 or so. That’s why they meet in person at coffeeshops, etc.

So the only thing different now, is that the innocent millions of Americans now KNOW they’re being watched.

Hardly a traitorous act, it seems to me.

[CottShop]

wierd, we have the left claiming he was a highly skilled hacker, whiel the right liek bolton, and rove and others claiming he was a no talent unsophisticated traitor/loser

Seems to me BOTH sides want to discredit him- perhaps they are scared he’s got soemthign on them too?

[Black Agnes]

Makes me wonder what the REAL story behind the Newt Gingrich cell phone call was:

http://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/news/1997/01/1397

Just so happened to hear it on a scanner as they were following him?

Really?

In light of all this new information I kind of doubt that story now.

Holy crap! Is Snowden going to OUT 0BAMA? LOL! SURPRISE, his birth certificate is FAKE, his REAL parents aren’t who we think they are, etc.. LOL!!! I would LOVE this. America rejoice, Hallelujah!

“I don’t understand why Cheney, for example, is so eager to call this guy a traitor.”

Exposing what we can do makes our enemies aware of what we can do.

BS.

He never had access to dossier type information.

That just is not how information is gathered or stored.

Information resides on disparate dbases , in various forms and on various OS’.
