“Snowden is a traitor because Obama, Pelosi and NBC told me so”

“”Snowden is a traitor because he told the American people their treasonous government was spying, wiretapping, monitoring, recording their every move””

You’re funnier than a barrel of monkeys.

You STILL think your information is private and you have control of it?.....Here's a guy who can that up.....

...”When I worked in government I had access to any bank account information at will, working in unclaimed property with ‘zero security clearance’.
..... We looked at current and past accounts, looking for accounts that might be unclaimed property so if you think your accounts are private than you are dreaming.”

Obama has staunchly defended sweeping secret surveillance into America's phone records and Internet use

Obama and Pelosi appreciate your position and support!

Whatever you’re quoting there is of your own making.....nothing I said... so you need to post it to the person who stated so.

We,my wife and I, were on our way to China via KAL008. When we arrived in Japan and heard about KAL007 we were dumbfounded wondering why our flight got by. It was later that we learned that KAL007 been over Soviet territory. However we still wandered about what might have been.
