Couldn't disagree more on that assessment with all due respect. IMO it's a red herring issue. That narrative can be the only narrative with which this Administration, this Guv, and the NSA are able to defend themselves -- as they've trashed the 4th Amendment for no good reason. I don't happen to believe our Nat'l Security is in jeopardy at all as result of Snowden's revelation that We The People have been the target of NSA snooping.
but the ‘actions’ of our Gov. and the ‘Players” within and without evidence the Constitution is given lip service without inforcing it...Our borders are a perfect example of this as are many other issues this nation faces. It simply is being abused..at best.
We are in total agreement here.
<....They’ve trashed the 4th Amendment for no good reason”.....>
They would disagree with you that is without good reason....they can and will justify or escape that reasoning as we have many times seen and heard.
<...” I don’t happen to believe our Nat’l Security is in jeopardy at all as result of Snowden’s revelation”....>
Snowden showed our adversaries what our capabilities are....and every time a news story is printed it furthers that to all the ears looking and listening.....thus they change their tactics and forms of communication. Even the dummie terrorists become more cautious and careful...thus limiting our ability to know what they are doing.
Now, he is informing the Chinese about “who,” “what,” and “where” the USA was spying on the Chinese....and then PROVIDED them with Intelligence “Documents” to support this.
To say he’s innocent of being a Nat’l Security threat is a huge mistake.....and who will he next reveal “secrets”, better left as secrets, to??????
