speak for yourself.
I want all H1Bs stopped indefinitely, dreamers deported, and immigration from non-European countries paused for the next 5-10 years.
did he actually do anything wrong, though?
NSA was clearly abusing power.
I understand the shadow war cia vs nsa theory for Snowden, but have a hard time finding sympathy for the NSA. lots of good debate and awareness came from his leaks.
that said, NSA CIA these days, as SIGINT > HUMINT
>the drops
there's a lot there. we can talk about releasing keys to shadow brokers, etc. but I've already acknowledged I understand and basically buy the idea that he was a cia plant.
my thing is, the NSA was clearly abusing their power in the first place. they aren't "innocent" in all this, and shouldn't play victim.
he also wasn't the first to whistleblow on this kind of thing… you know what happened to Bill Binney?
>Do you remember whose administration this was all taking part under?
doesn't that make it worse? Started under Bush, continued under Obama. Not trying to "distract" from anything - I'm just saying that NSA is probably the biggest government violator of American privacy rights, and I'm glad Snowden leaked the docs to bring that into open discussion.

>“We should be thankful for individuals like Edward Snowden and Glenn Greenwald who see injustice being carried out by their own government and speak out, despite the risk,” Paul said in a statement posted on the website of Campaign for Liberty, a nonprofit political organization which focuses on educating about constitutional issues, which he chairs. “They have done a great service to the American people by exposing the truth about what our government is doing in secret.”
