USA Today NSA Roundtable Excerpt.

As is her style, "Susan Page Of USAToday", somehow, asked the typical, lame-assed, leading, gotcha questions ("Hero or Traitor?&quot to these four and in spite of her total lack of journalistic integrity, got the most mind-blowing breakthrough interview that I have seen in my lifetime! It will be interesting to see what she takes from this interview and uses in reports or on Diane Rhem or Gwen Ifil... i especially enjoyed Jesselyn Radack's reply to the "Hero or Traitor" question.

Every sentence by these whistleblowers is devastating.



Complete interview with transcript here:

There was no other way except what is "illegal".

But really...how does anyone who swore an oath to uphold the constitution not blow the whistle. The most important loyalty has been forsaken from the beginning.

The Verizon Document Snowden released is gonna be HUGE. Plaintiffs now have "standing" in federal court to sue the NSA thanks to it's release.
