[USS Johnston]

You mean you disbelieve the info that this guvernment and NSA have been illegally snooping on us, keeping records of our every transaction and communication, and trashing out 4th Amendment Rights?

And why kill the messenger?

I knew the government had this capability before Snowden opened his mouth. The Patriot Act, etc.

I knew the government was abusing this capability before Snowden opened his mouth. The journalist hacking scandals.

I suspected the US was hacking China before this as well. Snowden confirmed that.

The whole point of Snowden: to "reveal" things about the US we already knew, while providing the Chinese government with hard evidence that the US has been hacking them.

You fell for it. Congratulations.
