...also doesn’t want them watching “Person of Interest”.
I'm not a kid and I'm not atypical for my age group. Edward Snowden making everyone aware of how much we're spied on, at a loss of his country, labelled a traitor without a trial and hunted by his own government is a hero.
Until he came along, many younger people were clueless about how little privacy we have.
Clapper lied to Congress on TELEVISION...!
The liar tells people to ignore this other guy...?
The effect will be the opposite of his desire —how intelligent is he...?
Jail is the best place for him but he DEFINATELY should not be in that line of work.
Clapper just has his lip run out because he is not the stupid kids hero.
Which means they will because he is a hero for exposing the depth to which NSA goes ot investigates its own citizens for political reasons instead of protecting our national security.
I would rather those students ask James Clapper about his own time with Booz Allen.
Snowden, hero. +1
Hey Kids! Clapper is a liar and criminal (perjury to Congress) also a serial invader of your and my rights. String him up (after you give him a fair trial).
James Clapper is just one of many DC higher ups who should be in prison.
My standard response to people when they express amazement that I don’t own/use a cell phone (”How can you live your life without a cell phone?”) is: James Clapper. Then they look at me funny. Very, very few of them know who he is. And isn’t THAT a shame?
Snowden could have been a hero, until he started giving hostile and semi-hostile governments our classified data.
Sorry, Clapper, but Snowden stood up against acts that are an insult to liberty and in this much he is a hero.
Anyone remember the old days when “the rule of law” wasn’t a phrase that was rightfully mocked as a bad joke? You know, back in the day when committing purjury in front of congress would at least get you fired, if not indicted?
In a just world, Snowden would be making speeches to students and Clapper would be making license plates.
