snowden and his mainstream media accomplices When you refer to them as "accomplices", you imply that Snowden did something wrong, that he wronged someone.
Who did he wrong? If he wronged someone, he wronged the NSA.
snowden is withholding important information from the public in order to protect the US government, US military industrial complex etc. snowden himself repeats all the time that his 'revelations' did not harm the NSA. Contrary of course to what NSA shills(i.e. you) screech.
Your choice of words reveal you are emotionally identifying with the NSA.
My choice of words reveals that I'm siding with the public who should have got all the documents, instead of the snowden-journo-accomplices who got them. Snowden gave a few documents to the journos so that the journos could filter them. Snowden himself explain his modus operandi all the time. Furthemore, snowden himself acknowledges that some people are not happy with the way he 'handled' things. He says he could have published the stuff direcly but he didn't because he's a 'responsible NSA asshole'. But to his credit snowden doesn't call these critics, critics HE KNOWS ARE RIGHT, "shills".
Snowden released information that showed what had widely been suspected,
yet another stupid, shilling lie. Snowden released information that was already known.
and what we had heard on grapevine from a friend of a friend, but, more importantly, he revealed that the NSA had been breaking the law.
LMAO
Bush by presidential order gave NSA broad authority to spy on Americans.
so the NSA wasn't breaking 'the law'. And notice your usage of 'the law' as if it wasn't anything but dictates of your nazi government. Then again, since you are a shill of the US government you refer to their criminal dicates as 'teh law'.
he eventually revoked that order,
yet-another-lie
Which everyone suspected, but no one had proof of until Snowden.
that is a lie 2006 how ATT is part of the NSA network. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_641A "The existence of the tap was revealed by former AT&T technician Mark Klein and was the subject of a 2006 class action lawsuit by the Electronic Frontier Foundation against AT&T" 2013 how your cuntry is ruled by the geheimnis stats polizei https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/08/dea-and-nsa-team-intelligence-launderi... 2012 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/oct/10/supreme-court-telecoms... "US supreme court finalizes gift of immunity to the telecom giants" et cetera In other words, you are a lying piece of shit james. And a US govt shill.
