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.

You mean you KNEW ALL our emails, financial records, phone conversations, and ANY privacy whatsoever were being violated? Sorry -- I didn't know as much as you and am shocked.

Isn't all this far more an indictment of the abuse of the US Guv and the NSA scandal rather than Snowden's definitive revelation, or the US/Chinese snooping war??

Yeah. I guess I'm a BIG Dummie for NOT seeing the ol' "You-Have-NO-4th-Amendment-Right" trick. Ought to be real helpful when conservatives are singled out for prosecution and persecution.
