In reply to the discussion: the idiotic attacks on Snowden show exactly how petty and pathetic those folks are [View all]truedelphi
(32,324 posts)Take Senator Di Feinstein, for example.
Her story, if you will, is that she is a loyal Democrat, when in fact she is someone who basically single-handedly selected non-charismatic, totally unknown people to run as gubernatorial candidates, deliberately throwing two governorships to Ahnold Schwartzenegger.
Di Fi also has leaked sensitive DoD and Surveillance Information to her husband, so that he can then bid on contracts for his construction firms.
If Di Fi had not taken the time to re-write the Senate Code of Ethics, before her career as A Major Player in All Things Relating to Governmental Contracts, she would have been impeached by now.
A lot of us could care less about who Snowden was or is. What he did was to expose a NSA Surveillance program that is high on steroids, supported by those in government who want those big lucrative contracts.
It is a totally illegal program, and most of us in the know are focusing on that program. After all, that program affects each and every one of us, and that is where my energies lie, rather than on the pedigree or lack of pedigree of one Mr Snowden.
