As a follow up to the previous posting, this one reflects the current Washington-speak attack on Snowden. Who is correct? Who is looking out for the American people? We sincerely do not know but are troubled by the lack of individuals who are demanding that the NSA stop spying on us, the law abiding US citizen. There seems to be a deathly silence on that subject.
Do you feel the same or are we just being the paranoid that we admit we are?

Sen. Lindsey Graham: Snowden 'Probably' Got People Killed
Friday, 02 Aug 2013 11:09 AM
"You've gotten some people killed probably, no matter what your motives were," the South Carolina Republican said in a CNN interview Thursday evening.
"The results of your conduct have put some very brave people at risk . . . You did a lot of damage to your country, and you've put a lot of people who serve the country in difficult circumstances, under the cover of darkness, at risk. And you've got their blood on your hands."
Russia announced Thursday that it has granted asylum to Snowden for a year, infuriating the Obama administration. President Barack Obama had urged his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, to turn Snowden over to U.S. authorities.
Graham said he can't share publicly the "ton" of evidence showing that Snowden has put American lives at risk. But he added, "I think people have been compromised in terms of how they represent our country; the way they operate overseas has been compromised."
"I'm very worried about sources and methods of the intelligence community being compromised. I'm very worried about the diminished ability of this [NSA] program to detect terrorist attacks before they come to our shores," he continued.

Snowden doesn't know whether or not he got somebody killed. Graham might know. People at the top of NSA and CIA definitely know the truth. You will never know for sure that they are telling you the truth no matter how many of them say it.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I believe it is safe to say that Putin got everything from Snowden's computer in exchange for asylum. He is leading a country that is supporting Assad in Syria. All that information about how NSA collects data will now go to Syria and, from there, get distributed to the rest of our Islamic enemies. As a friend of Israel, you should be thinking about that before you crown Snowden as a hero. The more I see Putin in action, the more I think Mitt Romney was right about Russia as still our #1 adversary (although I was laughing at the time).
