Oh look, Ichu12 didn't understand the previous post!!
I am so glad you mentioned the 'law of the land' in your post. How much do you value your "constitutional" rights as an American citizen, specifically, the 4th right of the United States Constitution? I am guessing also that you would have all illegal aliens in the United States deported immediately(if you were President) since, right now, according to current laws, they are here "illegally". Yes?
You want Edward Snowden prosecuted for breaking the law. I am guessing you want the same thing for "other" people who break the law. So yes, the damage caused by what a criminal does needs to be assessed as accurately as possible to determine proper punishments. We can't punish Edward Snowden for his actions without establishing a direct link between his actions and the damages caused. Your statement that 'we don't know if it hurt anyone' is a little hard to swallow. If damages can't be established within a 'reasonable' timeframe then it's probably safe to say there arent any. If someone has verifiable proof of damages let them come forward and make the case.
LMFAO! To clarify for younger & non-British readers, I think Guest refers to Bernard Manning, and is being a very naughty poster....Manning brought many hours of pleasure and laughter to millions, especially in the sixties and seventies. Although he fell out of favor in the eighties, in part due to the often racial/racist content of his material, he was an entertainer, and as such should not be vilified, and certainly not labelled a traitor.
Who the hell are you talking about certainly not the same young manning that leaked info to WikiLeaks in 2010. Not sure if he was even alive in the sixties
Which parts of which government think that? I think you may have made that up....Some parts of the govt think they have a blank cheque to do whatever they want with our freedom and rights. That's why we *need* whistleblowers. The normal channels don't work here. There is a wall of bs policy that lets them legally do unethical things.
Nice incoherent rant, Miguel
Well then, explain yourself you "GENIUS".Nice incoherent rant, Miguel
More like, "Follow your tax money!". Ohh, thats right it is considered classified to.FOLLOW THE MONEY.

For the life of me; I can't understand how you don't see all government as a threat, and blindly stand behind them under a false illusion of security. Governments are controlled by people, people who don't care about those under them. You have got to be blind, if you can't see this within your own life.These operations directly affect the safety and security of our citizens
Creating borders and restricting immigration was the first sign of freedom loss in this country. Requiring citizenship is the first step in organized oppression. Borders should not be closed to anyone unless oppression is what you really want.And yes, illegal aliens do need to be deported. If I was in charge, that would be the first thing on my agenda.
Governments don't commit crimes - they write the laws and then have the flexibility to abide by them or not themselves. This is a necessary hypocrisy. They will do whatever they see fit to preserve rule and peace. Sometimes, hippies will not understand how complex or grey it can become to fight the lawbreakers and evildoers on their own terms. If you are a hippy then I cannot convince you otherwise, and you may be determined to undermined your government's ability to protect you and your country, or maybe you are just an anarchist like the modern 'anonymous' clowns.
As for Snowden and Manning, they are better off dead as sneaky little traitors don't have the respect of anyone (whose opinion matters). You can see the conceited smirk on little Manning's face anyway - he delights in the trouble he has caused as that is all he is - a troublemaker (perhaps check out his school reports etc).
I'm sorry, but if you disagree then your opinion doesn't really matter to me anyway as you are off-base and thinking outside of universal truth.
One thing I DO blame the government for - not vetting these treacherous pr1cks out in the first place - they never should have had the opportunity to do the damage that they did.
Pity their parents for having to defend their treacherous little boys.
Humans need leadership and organization to function. Otherwise there would be chaos.For the life of me; I can't understand how you don't see all government as a threat, and blindly stand behind them under a false illusion of security.

Behind every government is a shadow organization that controls it? Yeah, right.Have you ever heard the term power corrupts. Well thats probably one of the reasons we choose to vote on Presidency every 4 years. The thing is our country in not run by those who are in office. They are controlled by outside sources that never loose control, which keep our government corrupted. If you want to get right down to it, our government is just as afraid of these corrupted powers as its citizens. The problem is no one wants to fight the government, but yet to fight these corrupted powers, we would have to first take out the government.
You want to stay here temporarily for a vacation or something? Our borders are open. You want to come here to live and go to school and work? You'd best start studying for the citizenship tests. And another thing -- you overstay your temporary pass (or come here illegally) and get caught? You get deported and lose all eligibility to re-enter -- no more vacation or citizenship for you.Creating borders and restricting immigration was the first sign of freedom loss in this country. Requiring citizenship is the first step in organized oppression. Borders should not be closed to anyone unless oppression is what you really want.
Lets just say I don't believe that, especially not continental wide government. We can survive with only localized government.Humans need leadership and organization to function. Otherwise there would be chaos.
It wasn't so long ago, they were saying the same thing about government surveillance. Believe what you will, but there is a reason for all the speculation around JFK's assassination.Behind every government is a shadow organization that controls it? Yeah, right.
