Um. No. I don't and neither do you. ALL possible steps aren't on the table. At least I sure as frick hope not.
True, poor choice of words. Certainly not "All" steps.
Prudent steps, and Mr. Snowden isn't the arbitor for the nations security. There were better methods to have a national discussion about the tools in place without having to completely reveal them.
His actions with Putin show his naivety in world affairs.

Nicely said. Succinct, and correct. It's become a situation where he's using the auspice of a divine mission to uncover America's wrongdoing against its citizens to cloud the facts that: 1) he needs to stay in the limelight to keep himself relevant (i.e. - feed his ego), and 2) he didn't reveal nearly as harsh or illegal machinations as he thought he would find .. so now he has to resort to publicly embarrassing the U.S. by rubbing elbows with its tyrant enemies and revealing anything he can, even if those revelations have nothing to do with domestic spying.

quote:His being naive doesn't concern me. The inability of Americans to conceive how easily the power being exercised can be abused is the naivety that concerns me. Hell, I consider the likelihood that this stuff hasn't already been improperly used to be roughly nil.
