(62,325 posts)Congress eg, and Alexander and all the others who are still there despite the fact that we threw them out in 2008 ....
They are not patriots .... they are criminals. They broke the law. Good citizens entrusted with the security and the protection of the US Constitution do NOT break the law of the land, violate the Constitutional rights of every single American by spying on the them.
Snowden watched no doubt what was done to Chelsea Manning, torture, isolation and 35 years in jail, FOR TELLING THE TRUTH.
And he sought asylum elsewhere, NOT in Russia, the US forced him into Russia, got any idea why btw? And he received it.
Clearly those rogue Private Security Corps, Booz Allen, Clappers Corp eg, were lying to Congress to get billions of tax dollars under false pretenses.
Even the President was not aware of the crimes they were committing. They allowed him to tell the American people that they were only 'collecting and storing' meta data when we now KNOW, and so does he thanks to Snowden, that they were LYING to us to the President and to Congress.
And that is what makes Snowden, Manning, Tice, Binney et al HEROES.
There is only ONE wrong here and it isn't the Whistle Blowers and thankfully now a majority of the people understand this.
