I wish, it would be much better ran, but a lot less hilarious.

I'm almost willing to guarantee my partner and I are on a list somewhere. For the 10th anniversary of 9-11 we went to London, France and Germany (spent a week going between all three). We have also made countless numbers of trips to Canada. Our passport sees a lot action. I would hope they would monitor people that traveled that much.

You do realize that poem references coming for as imprisoning and killing right... please show me where there have been socialists and trade unionists imprisoned or killed. I think its a great bastardization of that poem to apply to monitoring people for the safety of the country.

They are still doing pretty much what I want them to do. Then again, I'm weird that way... I'm a social liberal and a true financial conservative.

Please, show me where there is a constitutional right to privacy. There is a constitutional right against unreasonable searches and seizures, but I would have to say that monitoring the public domain is by no means violating that.

Doy! You can't be that bloody daft. You just compared Snowden to the founding fathers. That is an ANALOGY!

My brain hurts for you, and I can totally understand how YOU would consider Snowden a hero.

I think there is a huge difference between being a traitor to your own people and that of another country.

Bruce Schneier points out that there are likely three U.S. intelligence leakers, not two.
"In today’s America, conservatives who actually want to conserve are as rare as liberals who actually want to liberate. The once-significant language of an earlier era has had the meaning sucked right out of it, the better to serve as camouflage for a kleptocratic feeding frenzy in which both establishment parties participate with equal abandon" (Taking a break from the criminal, incompetent liars at the NSA, to bring you the above political observation, from The Archdruid Report.)
Lol, dream world time again.

How is this guy the end-all, be-all of sources on this subject?

You're just so biased against federal government agencies - I seriously have no idea how you can consider yourself anything but. And those other two "sources" - aren't they basically blog posts?
And I've never ignored wrong doing exposed by Snowden (show me where I have if you doubt me). But it cannot be denied, by anyone with a shred of logic and knowledge, that Snowden is a traitor.

http://20committee.com/2014/08/11/be...rman-industry/Berlin: NSA is not spying on German industry
August 11, 2014
Among the many untruths propagated by the Snowden Operation is the notion that the National Security Agency is busy spying on private firms to seek economic advantage for the United States. In Germany especially, this caused a firestorm of controversy, with many believing that Germany’s powerful economy is at risk from American espionage against German industry.
Left-wingers in Berlin grew sufficiently worried about this issue that they asked the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), Germany’s counterintelligence agency, to investigate the matter. Their assessment has been obtained by the Berlin daily Die Welt, which reported its findings today. The BfV is aware of some 200 cases of potential or actual espionage against German firms since 2005. However, in only in a few of those cases did the counterspies find “concrete evidence” of intelligence service involvement in industrial espionage.
Many such cases involved Chinese individuals and firms, but given their possible ties to governing structures in Beijing, it was difficult for German counterspies to determine what was private data theft or the work of an intelligence entity operating through a cut-out. In the BfV’s words: “Because of the close links between the industry and the state, for example, in the People’s Republic of China, it is difficult to differentiate whether the industrial spying was done on behalf of the state or competing foreign companies or private persons acting on their behalf.”
The question of American involvement in industrial espionage against German firms was investigated closely by the BfV, which came to this conclusion: “There is currently no concrete evidence of potential involvement of U.S. intelligence services in espionage attacks on German companies,” adding, “the U.S. Government has assured the Federal Government several times that its services do not conduct economic espionage.”
Instead, according to the BfV, known cases of industrial espionage since 2005 have “almost exclusively” involved spying by China and Russia. “The companies have not reported any indications of spying activities by Western countries,” reported German counterintelligence.
