Yeah, because the people recording all of your phone calls, texts and emails are true patriots, loyal to their oaths to protect and defend the constitution. No...it’s the 29 year old kid who exposed all of these wholesale black letter violations of our rights who should be put against the wall and shot.

It’s the PEOPLE magazine thinking - personalities, and inability to think of ideas. An American disease.

You think that’s all the NSA and CIA does? Do you have a problem with the CIA recording all the calls of our enemies across the seas, and keeping tabs on every country in the world, in the same way every nation does (just not publicly)?

You need a dose of realisim, and to see the big picture. There’s more at stake here than domestic spying, which, certainly, cannot be tolerated willy-nilly. But undermining our efforts againgst terrorists, letting our enemies know how we’re spying on them, and demonizing the United States within countries like Russia and China which are the worst human rights offeners in the world, is something foul and horrible, and anyone who defends that should be ashamed of themselves.

Funny how you don't address the new open doors the terrorists will have if they sense that monitoring of calls has been weakened.

If we had had such monitoring pre 9/11 there a great chance the tragedy would never have occurred.
