you are right but they weren't fighting certain death, like snowden. They had a shot to win. what does snowden have?

and i wasn't meaning you were a republican, that was just a general statement.

And if it makes you feel better I am a pussy when it comes to fighting our government.

What does that even fricking mean, how does that even relate? You're just empty bluster with no concept of what Snowden exposed or what he faces.

“Snowden could have come to me,” George Ellard, the NSA’s inspector general, said during a panel discussion hosted by the Georgetown University Law Center.

“We have surprising success in resolving the complaints that are brought to us,” he said.

And if Snowden wasn’t satisfied, Ellard said the NSA would have then allowed him to speak to the House and Senate intelligence committees.


If you believe any of this, there are no words that can describe your ignorance.



Typical, pathetic Decataur.

yea i dont think TT realizes that snowden would be killed within 6 months of going to prison and he is going to prsion the moment he steps off the plain.

The man is a hero, he exposed a tyrantical government. Its funny he did it for his feloow citizens and now the same citizens want to see him killed because he exposed something the same tyrantical government said the citizens didnt need to know. Idiocracy at its finest. almost a syndrome.

I had reported these clearly problematic programs to more than ten distinct officials, none of whom took any action to address them.

Here's how the Europeans view Snowden's plight.

It's not a legal defense...there are NO whistleblower laws for him as a private contractor.

Why do you love government so much?

a. Wasn't the world supposed to love us now that Barack Obama was president?

b. Screw the Germans.

Pardon me if I think he'd have had a tragic accident or committed suicide from "stress" if he'd chosen this course of action.

Just want to make sure people see what we're facing in terms of the uphill struggle for liberties.
