Can I ask why ppl even seemed shocked and surprised at the information he leaked?

Because they didn't read the Patriot Act a decade ago? idk.

It's public confirmation that the US can not argue against. You can say "we all knew it anyway" - not true. We may know it, those who study politics deeply may know it, consistent internet users with common sense may know it, but that is still the vast minority. If "everyone knew it", why would France and Germany be so mad about it? Germany want to charge the US and the UK based on the leaked information. This is one of the biggest leaks of all time in terms of what the actual leak was and the effects it has on other people / nations.

I don't really like what the US is doing right now. He said what you were secretly doing. It's better to know about it. This guy is like my hero right now.

Rand will have loved the leaks. Imagine the pipebombs he can dish out now?

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Rand is basically the only Republican supporting Snowden's actions, along with a few Dems.

 

[Crayo]

Shocker.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Shocker.

Like I said I view this stuff as entertainment. To me Rand is top face, and I'm really hoping they put the belt on him in 2016. Obama is stale

Rand on Snowden:

"I would say that Mr. Snowden hasn't lied to anyone," said Paul. "He did break his oath of office, but part of his oath of office is to the Constitution, and he believes that, when James Clapper came in March, our national director of intelligence came and lied, that he [Snowden] was simply coming forward and telling the truth that your government was lying. This is a big concern of mine, because it makes me doubt the administration and their word to us when they talk to us, because they have now admitted they will lie to us if they think it is in the name of national security."

Ugh, Fox news. Fuck you, Peter King.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Fox News is an endless source of entertainment

also, anyone hoping Snowden gets asylum might be a little less optimistic after today's reports

Saw that earlier. All he needs to do is get into Ecuador and ask there, but that's probably a tough task. Still reckon he'll get asylum.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Pretty much South America or bust. Venezuela is my guess. The president was sucking his dick pretty hard

yea, Biden pretty much completely cock blocked SNowden w/ Ecuador
