[KoKo]

And...Just Saying....I BELIEVE HIM! We don't get enough "International TV in USA, anymore and this is a "Good Watch." (I just wish that I could post this without all kinds of "code" hanging out...But, better to see it for my puny internet skills than for it to be ignored.)

In an interview with German television, Edward J. Snowden said that despite feeling threatened, he...

[Thinkingabout]

1. This could be from the poor handling of data and names or codenames has been leaked

And perhaps those exposed does not appreciate his sloppy work.

2. I guess you and I grew up inside different Americas -

Or maybe I was home sick the day that in social studies, as I have no memory of it being mentioned that US government officials could be advocating a secret murder of someone who had not been legally indicted, taken before a judge and jury and given a fair trial.

And I also haven't heard of anyone who died from any data released by Snowden. Although just a week ago, 300,000 people were without drinking water, because Big Energy can do what ever they want to do to our water supply, as long as it is in the name of profit, and not "terrorism."

[Thinkingabout]

4. It may be a problem when the name or codename is released and the person is put in harms way of whom

Has not been convicted of anything and probably never charged with anything. When a person who works in our nations security is outted their lives and other agents lives are put in danger. It damn well does not help them and this is why this information should remain classified. If Snowden and his gang did not have this fore sight then they do not need to make decisions in which they are not capable of knowing the outcome of stupid decisions. He has put others in harm's way.

5. Who has he put in harm's way? So sick of this excuse every time a whistle blower reveals crimes

committed against the American people.

If our government doesn't people exposing their crimes against the Constitution, the solution is simple, STOP VIOLATING our Constitutional rights!!

We were LIED into a horrible, murderous war and THOSE CRIMINALS who put millions in harms way are still free and not one of them has yet been brought to justice.

Torture, spying on the American people, lies about war, hundreds of thousands of dead human beings including thousands of American troops, untold numbers maimed for life, both physically and emotionally, thousands committing suicide as a result of crimes committed by our government. Yes lying a country into war may be the worst crime elected officials can commit.

Not to mention the Wall St criminals who are not only still walking around free, they are richer than ever with tax payer money that the tax payers CANNOT AFFORD.

I think your priorities are a little off and millions of people here and around the world do not agree with you.

[Thinkingabout]

6. Would you want to be in a job and someone put your information out and your life is

Endangered, would you really want someone trying to kill you because you was doing a job? Seriously, and just because Snowden took it upon himself to take information into a non protected area and the information was delivered to the wrong people. Just think, if your name Sabrina started running in the world of security it would make you feel good?

[sabrina 1]

7. I asked you a question which you didn't answer. Who was put in harm's way other than the innocent

victims of our humanitarian bombs and our torturers?

[Thinkingabout]

8. There has been information which wasn't redacted properly, I don't think it needs to be repeated

over and over. I am not even going to go into this innocent humanitarian bombs and torturers. You can either say whether you want your name and information given out or not.

[sabrina 1]

9. What does your question have to do with the allegation you made which apparently you

are unwilling to produce any evidence for? The question is based on a false premise. So far as I know the only ones potentially harmed are the perpetrators who have been violating our Constitutional rights for years now.


And since when did this country care about putting people in harm's way, except when it suits them to try to cover up the crimes of the rich and powerful?

Remember Valerie Plame? I haven't seen much concern for her or for those she was associated with who were exposed for POLITICAL purposes by a rogue band of people headed by the VP himself who were entrusted with the protection of people like Valerie Plame.

There is no rule of law in this country anymore IF you are rich and powerful enough. So the pretense of outrage that a Whistle Blower 'might, maybe. possibly, probably' or whatever the allegation is, have 'put someone in harm's way' is, in a macabre sort of way, amusing.

Each time they are caught committing crimes against the people, we are treated to the same old 'national security' nonsense. Great way to hide massive crimes, 'just trust us if you find out about our crimes, it will damage national security. No, it won't. NOTHING harmed this country's National Security more than the outrageous, criminal lies that led this country into never ending war.

11. And two other things - one is that

The NSA is not legal. Period.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024388396
And it’s not illegal just because it violates the Constitution – although it does (the Fourth Amendment, specifically). The illegality of the NSA’s telephone metadata program is much clearer and even more disturbing than that. The program is illegal because no law authorizes bulk collection of phone record data. To the contrary, several laws forbid it. Understanding that the program is illegal doesn’t require fancy lawyer arguments about the frustratingly terse and vague provisions of the U.S. Constitution. It requires only that you read section 215 of the Patriot Act, which is the statute identified by the NSA as providing congressional authorization for its programs. We read it. It is surprisingly clear. And it does not authorize the NSA to do what it’s doing.

####
And two is that the money that is being handed over, right now, by Criminal Conspiracists like Di Feinstein, so they can enrich enriching themselves by leaking "secret classified information" to family members so contracts can go out and secure the Blum Feinstein household a gazillion dollars for the Surveillance Contracts that NSA provides.

Meanwhile that surveillance money should be going into infra-structure, and into police agencies that supervise the Big Polluters, like the people at "Freedom Energy" responsible for polluting the West Virgina river and drinking water for 2300,000 people.

3. Who is "they"? (nt)

[madrchsod]

10. they? they are them? or is it those?

who knows?

but whatever it is remember....


do`t do the crime if you can't do the time

[sabrina 1]

12. That's good advice for a government that has now so out of control regarding

'doing the crimes but not doing the time'. Hopefully the more Whistle Blowers who come forward, the harder it is going to be for them to get away these massive crimes that have been going on for far too long.
