(376 posts)First, what right was stripped? The NSA followed the LAW and got warrants. Members of Congress were aware of this so there was OVERSITE. So tell me how the rights were stripped away? What gets me is how the terrorist can hide behind our Rights and attack us at the same time and there are people like some of those on DU that will protect people like this idiot who breaks the law thinking he is doing a service to this country . I'm not sorry that i won't jump on the band wagon on calling this traitor a hero. Do you want to inspire more idiots to leak classified information and make this country more vulnerable to our enemies? Well if that's true, then there will be no country. I thouht we were a country of laws. If he didn't like what he saw then he should contact his representstive. If you don't like this law then vote.
"We also live in a world where terrorists are going to strike at times. In fact they have for centuries now. And they will always find a way. Its a matter of deciding if you want to live in a freer more open society but riskier, or a militarized society where you are relatively safe and secure but have no privacy or freedom of speech or movement. I choose the former."
Tell that to the survivers of 911. No one has taken your right for free speech
