We both agree there. No doubt about it. I think some of them could be tied to what was going on, and at the very least they should be jettisoned. IMO, they should be brought up on charges. We allow this stuff to fade away. I don’t like that at all.
My biggest issue with all this is that exactly. Ultimately Snowden, right or wrong, was the messenger that everyone tries killing. We can all debate the correctness of his personal actions and motivations and fairly. But the people and programs he exposed AND those that are responsible for enacting them are the real issue and problem. The mere fact that a collaboration of American pols got together and enabled this to spy on their own voters is the greatest evil and all of it is their ultimate responsibility.
