So Norm, it is leftist to point out that:
This man gave US data collection Methods and Means, as well as names of people assigned to various project teams to the Russians, to the Chinese, and to who knows who else?
That because of his actions, the US became effectively blind to threats as data collection Methods and Means built up since WWII were compromised?
That 90 plus percent of what he stole was unrelated to collection of telephone records et al?
The whole affair was carefully orchestrated to raise a storm about personal privacy to be propagated by the complicit media that would obscure the truth of what he actually stole under the direction of his handlers ... and the “FR right” fell for it. It seems that that to some so-called personal privacy of called phone numbers outweighs national security.
This man should be shot on sight, not crucified.
Well I’m glad that the MSM suddenly became a reliable source of information and God knows that the people he exposed would NEVER EVER pad what he took with claims of things that would make him look bad.
Of course none of us actually KNOW what he took other than what he told us, do we? No. We ‘know’ what the very people spying on us ‘SAY’ he took.
And maybe he did. Time will tell. But a person has to be a pretty gullible at best, if they actually believe the official story. So you go right ahead and act as governmental assassin for the people lying to you about everything from global warming to illegal immigrant rape statistics to school lunches. I’ll pass.
