(55,981 posts)We need to find out. Or I guess we could pretend it's ok and concentrate on Snowden.
I dont care about whether the OP is facts or not, because it has nothing to do with the major issue that the Republicans want to hide and Democrats want to investigate.
I dont care if it's a fact that Snowden wears boxers and not briefs. His character has absolutely nothing to do with what we need to be doing now.
Who is collecting personal data on Americans?
How much data is being collected?
What are the sources of the data?
Is all of the data being compiled and analyzed?
Who has access to the data?
Is the FISA court providing honest oversight?
Is Congress providing meaningful oversight?
These are a few of the questions we should be discussing, not what kind of a person Snowden is.
