(376 posts)I think this guy is NOT a hero but a traitor to this country. He is only a hero to the terrorist. He helped exposed how we tracked them. This is exactly what I was telling friends that Bradley Manning has started this "I'm going to leak government secrets because I think the public should know". Now we have someone doing the same thing. Why this guy didnt contact someone in Congress about this? All he did was expose how we track terrorists by causing FEAR that the government is listening to your phone calls. Now think about this. There must be hundreds of thousands if not MILLIONS of phone conversations going on at any given time. Who has time to listen to any of those conversations at any point of time? And WHY would anyone want to listen to any of those conversations? People are reacting out of FEAR which is same tactics that was used by Fox News. There were NO laws being broken. There was a FISA court that the NSA had to go through to get a warrant. Members of Congress were informed. I dont fear the government keeping records of me, I fear we are going to have more people like this idiot leaking important government secrets that will make the US venerable to our enemies. Im sure China would LOVE to speak with this guy now that he is hiding out in Hong Kong. And before you start quoting Benjamin Franklins Those who give up their liberty for more security neither deserve neither liberty nor security think about this, He did not live in a world of this type of technology. Just because he said it does not mean he was right. At one point in time, many smart people thought the world was flat. Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Smartphone
