>> But taking your charge against Snowden for treason against the United States seriously
We should all consider the voluntary act of disclosing US natsec to China as treasonous — assuming the disclosure did in fact happen as reported.
It’s a good article you referenced, but I’m more forgiving than West of the instruments used to execute policy. I’m in agreement, however, concerning the politics driving the policy.
While taking the unpopular position of defending the NSA, I’ve made it a point to focus on the legislative and funding mechanisms that are ultimately responsible for the alleged Constitutional violations. From what I gather, West is speaking to the vicious cycle of Congressional incompetence and the second-rate statism it relies on. This IS indeed the problem. A problem the citizens continue to for wittingly or not.
I’m a Conservative libertarian. I’m very serious about Liberty. I’m also serious about identifying the cause of the problems which I believe stem directly from Congress, not the NSA.
This NSA disturbance is nothing compared to the impending exposure of health records through Obamacare. But that doesn’t seem to make the news. Why not?
FWIW, I don’t wish any ill-will on Snowden. He seems to believe he did the right thing.
