In reply to the discussion: Sens. Widen & Udall on Wash Post NSA Report:"This confirmation is just the tip of a larger iceberg." [View all]Autumn Colors
(2,379 posts)28. I bet they've all had their private conversations played back to them.....
From way back ... how many years has this been going on? Five years? Seven years? And all have been told that if they don't play ball the way they want ("they" meaning NSA, secret government, whoever is REALLY controlling things) .... that these taped conversations will "somehow" get leaked to the press, the web, etc.
The "they" I refer to in the subject line is every congress critter, every supreme court justice, all cabinet members, and the President himself. There already was a leaker from a few years ago who just came forward again to validate what Snowden has been saying and this person said specifically that Barack Obama was an NSA snooping "target" back when he was a senator.
