What country would you have fled to? Lemme guess: Canada? The UK? LOL

The main thing we are dealing with here is the passing of a law without thinking about how it can, not should, be used. Immigration is another area where our lawmakers are sticking their heads in the sand. Everybody is playing politics instead of doing the job they were sent to congress to do. Does anybody in congress ever use their individual brain or is the party head thinking for everybody all the time. We need some real change.

The basic problem is that laws were meant to spy on foreign people and it has been turned around and used on American citizens. That is illegal and unconstitutional. Destroy the information yesterday! It should never have been kept.

Well that's not what you said earlier.

It's Snowden's reality orientation, or rather the lack thereof that show's he's not normal. He thinks he's a hero. May he enjoy life in Russia.

Share your source where he says he's a hero. From what is published he says he is NOT a hero. The reality orientation, at this point, lies with your preconceived notion.

I'm sure there's trustworthy people, however they are abiding by their job requirements, that may bring them into a questionable zone. That is not to mention the abusers, which can be present in any job sector.

OK, poor word choice. He thinks he's done a great thing by being a "whistleblower".

I have not heard this claimed. However, all of this info is 2nd or 3rd hand at least.

I don't trust the Obama administration or the Democratic Party, both of which will use the data collected illegally for political purposes.
