Give me a break, people. If there was another 9-11 attack or a dirty bomb that killed hundreds and the govt wasn't watching anything, you'd all be screaming bloody murder about that.

You're as bad as the gun nuts who think the govt is going to take all their guns away. You think you're so important that the govt is going to tune into you among millions and millions of people to hear your boring drivel shit conversations which, if they match your posts here, couldn't possibly be less interesting, uninformed or more ignorant. Just as with the gun nuts, do you honestly think the govt has the capability to listen into every single conversation going on 24/7? Do you really?

They need a background wash of millions of phone calls so they can focus on emerging call patterns that might be of interest. If you were in the White House and you had the capability, you'd be doing it too and you know it.

And those who defend Snowden are no different than the anti-abortion freaks. It doesn't matter to you what's legal, you're going to subvert those laws to make the country fit into YOUR benevolent tyranny. Actually, that's giving you too much credit. You don't have the guts to do that. You'll just sit back and cheer on the crazy nut who is doing what you can only fantasize about--just like the abortion nuts--one crazy goofball pulls the trigger or sets off the bomb and the rest of you cheer.

And, if as one poster here said, Snowden is putting no one at risk by leaking the contents of this program to the world, then how dangerous could this program possibly be? Go crawl back into the woodwork you slithered out of. Some other deluded nutball will be along soon enough, I'm sure. You can cheer him on but the Snowden experience is just about at an end.
