Congress and the Intelligence Agencies are in such disarray that even Edward Snowden is trolling them.

Wouldn't consider that trolling. These days so much is coming out that the vipers in the pit seem to turning on one another.

Elite by nature are accustomed to being out of touch with other realities, so it maybe a surprise to them that an agency who is paid to spy on people would do just that.

Give Mr. Snowden a Nobel Peace Prize( its sadly worth nothing these days but its still a nice gesture) and bring him back to testify against the government. Offer him full immunity and a nice financial reward.
I want the pitchfork and torch concession in DC. When the truth comes about on how badly they've abused spying and power and their treasonous crimes are exposed. We'll need to build FEMA prison camps to hold everybody that gets prosecuted.

I'm sure the Obama administration will conduct an internal investigation of itself and, just like with it's other internal investigations, will not find anyone to blame, and things will be back to normal in no time.
Umm, Isnt this whole incident from like 2007/2008 ?

Ron Dellums would tell you that the CIA has always been doing that.

I think the size and the scope has changed a great deal, but unfortunately this isn't new. Coming out to the light of day is part of the process though. One way or another correction will keep coming. This kind of system simply cannot sustain itself in the longer run.

Arrow "Ultra Lib" Feinstein Is At It Again,..

Defending freedom, liberty, and the constitution. Senator Feinstein has lashed out against the CIA spying and the extent of it's lunacy.

A senior US senator on Tuesday accused the Central Intelligence Agency of illegally searching computers of Senate staff members who were investigating a CIA interrogation program.

Dianne Feinstein, the powerful chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, angrily denounced the CIA’s actions, saying it appeared to be a bid to intimidate lawmakers from holding the spy agency accountable.

“I have grave concerns that the CIA’s search may well have violated the separation of powers principles embodied in the United States Constitution,” Feinstein said in a dramatic speech on the Senate floor.

As much as I enjoy Feinstein getting a taste of her own medicine, I'm more concerned with the spying in general. Any agency (or employees thereof) brazen enough to engage in this activity will do whatever they want, lawfulness be damned.

These scum (and I include far too many members of congress in that label) should be drawn and quartered.

And when GW Bush was spying on US citizens republicans never complained. But the second GW Bush handed his spy network to Obama, then the US government spying on US citizens became wrong.

This thread is nothing more than a political attack on Obama (for something GW Bush created, started, and then handed to Obama.)
