Let's not discount there are more than a 1,000 Edward Snowdens all "stealing" proprietary information and/or communications from all Americans as we speak.
These are private contractors, not bound by these
same laws Snowden is accused of breaking.
They are not even the U.S. Government, technically, yet are being allowed the same access level.
-Your company data? Compromised.
-Your medical records? Compromised.
-Your attorney conversations? Compromised.
And all of of it is copied and sent unfiltered to at least one foreign government with zero congressional oversight.
"Espionage" is a good word to describe the NSA-Israel connection. Thx fint.
It is a private government within the government.
Same as the Federal Reserve.
Not bound to accountability to the electorate.
Q). What if the Snowden Incident never happened?
A). Your information would continue being passed around from private contractor to private contractor.
A). Discussion would never reach the open air for public disclosure and oversight.
A). It is a private marketer's wet dream. Nobody would know where the information was sourced from, only that it make their company billions in profit for...cough...certain...stock market shareholders and CEOs.
Whitewater would be a drop in the bucket with this codified into legitimate law.
