In reply to the discussion: Ex-NSA Chief Jokes About Putting Edward Snowden on Kill List... [View all]RC
(25,592 posts)50. Bull Shit. Your post is nothing but a list of discredited talking points.
If Edward (not Eddy) Snowden had not fled, he would be facing the same ordeal as Manning did. The NSA would still be continuing on as if nothing had happened and we would not be much wiser as to the extent of the criminally of our increasingly unconstitutional spying network. Snowden would have been just another blip in the Friday news dump. Snowden did us and the world a favor in exposing the extent of the illegal spying on American citizens.
The NSA is less concerned with terrorist and such, as it is with gathering information on American citizens for the purpose of blackmail and control. You are chugalugging the koolaid here.
