Both supporters and opponents of Snowden's actions can agree on one thing

8. You call BS? Maybe the figure is wrong. Maybe it's only 849,000 people. You dont know. PERIOD!!

You act as if you know for sure. Dead certainty is not a good trait and especially for a "politically liberal" person. PERIOD!!

Besides you are arguing about a number and not the point. We will have to guess at your point. You appear to think that information about our spy programs is secure. It would certainly be nice if that were true. But since Snowden expose, it is obvious that there are some major problems. I bet lots of people have access to the facts that we have spy programs. In fact Booz Allen is helping the Arab Emirates duplicate our programs. They probably have a brochure.

The breach of security by Snowden proves that our secrets are not secure. Where was his supervisor? Why arent we questioning him/her? Are you so certain that someone hasnt gotten the information that Snowden obtained and quietly provided it to other countries?

The 1% want to keep the government spying under wraps, the Corp-Media wants to keep the government spying secret, the REpublicans want to keep the spying secret, and some that post here in DU also want to persecute Snowden and distract from the illegal spying. Strange bedfellows.
