Re: Edward Snowden... Let's Make It Simple

40. What are you talking about? First you claim that Snowden 'squirmed' when asked about

releasing the information. You still have not provided a link to the 'squirm'. Then you criticize him FOR answering the question.

You must despise Ellsberg also. He released his info to the press, as ALL WHISTLE BLOWERS DO.

And the SC ruled that the press, in that case the NYT, could not be silenced when the public's NEED TO KNOW overcame the Government's NEED TO HIDE information.

It was a definitive ruling FOR Whistle Blowers and set a precedent that stands today.

So what should Whistle Blowers do with information of corruption in government if NOT got to the press?

Snowden is confident, see again the SC RULING ON THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KNOW AND THE PRESS'S right to publish what they need to know, that he DID THE RIGHT THING, by going to the press who HAS the SC ruling behind them to publish leaked documents when the public's right to know is at stake.

What is hilarious is how those who are anti-Snowden/Whistle Blowers are so confused now and contradicting each other.

Eg, I was told by an anti-Snowden/Whistle Blower, that REFORMS HAVE BEEN MADE. So I should not be concerned anymore.

NOW, you are contradicting someone who is on your side, and claiming NO REFORMS HAVE BEEN MADE.

Lol, the reforms made are that the NSA cannot access the data they have collected without a warrant.

And that reform alone, confirms Snowden's claims, that they were doing so WITHOUT A WARRANT until now.
