Ahhh the creator of EMACS editor & other things.
And Uber weird Leftie.
Well, she lost me right there.
But I do apologize to her personally for being just a dumb citizen who is she feels is not sophisticated enough to understand all that big-time security thinking.
That the NWO, the American Dictator, and their collective lying memes aren't quite fooling enough people with their scare tactics? That "never letting a good crisis go to waste" is acceptable? That the violation of the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendments are expendable? That the gross, secret intrusion of privacy in the name of "SECURITY" is necessary?
What are you saying?
She is not currently in that business. But spent many years in it. Did you look at her bio in the “about” tab on the website?
Perspective has it’s value.
If that is not good enough for you, I am sorry.
I simply do not buy it, that the NSA and CIA are working to keep America safe from terrorist attacks. (despite several hit dramas and movies claiming they do)
Imagine a local police department was caught planting hidden cameras in everyone’s bedrooms with no warrants, and doing it in a blanket manner throughout the community. Everyone was violated.
Somebody flees to safety and blows the whistle.
I would call the whistleblower a patriot. And I would be deaf to the wailing that exposing the illegal police camera program had made it impossible for the police to use hidden cameras in a lawful manner.
In fact, id say time to disband that d@mned department, arrest several.
Or as wiser men phrased it. “But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security”
It didn’t smell right the moment he spoke IMO.
He is now a man without a free country, hiding behind the shirt tails of communist leaders. And yet speaking out of both sides of his mouth that his motives were all about human rights... yet there he is in Russia, a country with the worst possible human rights.
Remember he calls himself a “WORLD CITIZEN” not an American........while he parks his butt in Russia!
I think he’s a fraudster all around and thought he could play in the big boys park and call the shots.....I am not at all surprised they “trapped him”....like the rat that he is.
BINGO
Is she proving Snowden's "harm to American security"?
IMO she's a condescending, pretentious Statist whose allegiance in NOT to the US Constitution nor the truth of the matter, NOR The Big Picture.
I don’t know anything about your past or perspective.
I'm not impressed by your attitude or present.
I don’t like your tone toward others and their opinions.
Tough s***.
Some of the CIA & NSA are. The part controlled by Obozo is in question.
Aka, The Big Picture.
Me thinks that Ann Marie, if that’s her real name, is trying to eat the delicious cake and have it, too. Because if Snowden is a traitor as she insists using an insulting language, as if that helped prove her point, if he’s a traitor, Ann Marie, then no dancing around it, then Obama and NSA are patriots defending the vital interests of the United States. Which is it?
No, I don’t think he’s a double agent either...and I really don’t think he’s a spy for another country.....but he certainly has put himself into a position where he no longer is in control of anything....and I also believe he no longer has control of what he took.
He’s been played by many...and certainly Assange has had his hand fully in this. I tend to think he’s had to give information in order to survive this and the help he’s received just this far.
Ohh, I missed something:

No wonder I did not know you. But I will remember in the future.
“She is not currently in that business. But spent many years in it. Did you look at her bio in the “about” tab on the website?”
People in those businesses are often extremely poor choices for whom to trust with civil liberties. Doctors would happily outlaw cigarettes, Cops would love to have universal wiretapping and be able to enter homes with no warrants, Teachers would generally ban homeschooling.
IF her bio is true, she needs to reacquaint her/himself with exactly what it was her career was all about.
If the only way the government and intelligence community can protect us is to create a creepy American “Homeland” with a full security state apparatus, then there are some serious questions to be asked,,,
Agree.
Yes, Assange was the other person in the photo you posted.
His associations reveal his nature. It is not what he tries to project.
Snowden will probably live to regret how he handled this.
Remember who created DHS.
GWB.
At FR we Hated Jamie Gorelick for her wall.
It was seen as secrecy.
DHS was a HUGE mistake.
Now we have people without HS diplomas roughing us up and taking our liberty.
Now there is no wall and things are less compartmentalized and there for, less manageable, and open to more abuse.
It’s complicated.
Freedom is a messy business.
