There is no spying, Snowden's girl friend is a pole dancer.
There is no spying because Snowden broke the law.
There is no spying because a warrant is required (and we know the NSA wouldnt try to get around that).
This might reflect badly on Pres Obama, therefore Snowden, Greenwald, Ms. Valerie Plame, and Sen Wyden are racists.
The NSA isnt really looking at the data, only collecting it. And it's only meta-data after all.
Snowden isnt telling us anything we didnt know. (so he should be thrown in prison?)
Gen Clapper didnt really lie, well maybe just a little lie. When he said the NSA wasnt spying he really meant they werent looking thru keyholes. Collecting and analyzing data isnt really spying. Pres Clinton could have taken a lesson from Gen Clapper on how to lie to Congress and get away with it.
Pres Obama says they arent reading emails. (they refers to him and Bo)
Snowden is a traitor because he is giving China and Russia all our secrets but he doesnt have enough to prove the NSA is spying. (I know that sounds confusing but trust me I know I know the truth, I got it from CNN)
The Constitution no longer applies because we have new technologies. The Fourth Amendment doesnt even mention e-mails.
The NSA says we are reading emails but only of foreign suspects.
Warrants arent necessary for meta data, phone logs, Google searches, library reading lists, or anything else so deemed.
We need the spying to assure our safety. Dog bless Generals Clapper and Alexander.
The NSA says we are reading emails but only of foreign suspects and those in America they correspond with.
The NSA doesnt do anything w/o a warrant. And the warrant they have authorizes spying on everything, anytime, on anyone. (At least its legal)
The President says that America needs the discussion that Snowden brings to daylight. (not sure he actually mentioned Snowden by name) He added that "we" still arent spying on Americans. (not sure who he included with his we, maybe he and Bo again)
The $100 billions we pay to Booz-Allen is worth the secret "something" that might make us safer.
The NSA says they are reading emails but only of foreign suspects, those they correspond with and those they correspond with. Sorry, lost track of how many "bumps" the NSA has admitted to spying on but I think its like 100 million persons and 20 million dogs.
The President says we are lucky to live in America where we can freely speak of possible Constitutional violations by our government. And he would gladly demonstrate such if he could only get his hands on Snowden. There is no greater reward than a lifetime of solitary confinement.
The President says they (he, Gen Clapper, Gen Alexander, and Gen [redacted]) will investigate and take the proper actions in secret, of course. And when its all over, he will be able to assure us that they arent spying on us. (can you spell déjà vu?)
Did I mention Snowden dated a girl that was a pole dancer.
