So the NSA is merely putting us in irresponsible danger for fun? You argued it was all about security; the NSA admitted the program wasn't needed and offered to end it. So suddenly it's all about the economics of the phone companies for you. The NSA can admit it was wrong, but you can't. You can't even admit that the NSA admitted it was wrong. Game. Set. Match. I'd like to thank DannyA for voicing my opinion as well so I didn't have to clutter the thread. It's hard to grasp the fact that the NSA didn't say they were wrong. Or that they're ending the program,. So really, Bad serve.

I take a week off and you all are still flogging this dead horse? Pfft, and in the same week Paula Deen gets fired.

His name wrong? Isn't that the same problem they had with Tamerlan Tsarnaev, why they didn't notice he'd gone back and forth to Chechnya?

Ah yes, something a computer missed that a person could have noticed in five seconds if we still did things the "old-fashioned" way. But, considering the kind of yutzes who make it past the "rigorous" NSA screening process, maybe not. His name wrong? Isn't that the same problem they had with Tamerlan Tsarnaev, why they didn't notice he'd gone back and forth to Chechnya?

Does this mean he's a Russian spy now? It's Now Clear That Russian Intelligence Speaks For Edward SnowdenRussian attorney Anatoly Kucherena — who also happens to be the head of public council for the Federal Security Service (FSB) — has announced that Edward Snowden may leave the Moscow airport on Wednesday. His next destination: Russia.
That's right, he's likely not going too far.
We also know that Snowden supposedly said he has no plans to travel to Latin America because at this time, he thought it too dangerous to travel.
How do we know that? Well, Kucherena said Snowden said it, of course.
Not only does Kucherena run the FSB's public council, but it seems he runs Snowdens public relations as well — he "helped" Snowden apply for temporary asylum, he relayed Snowden's "promise" not to hurt the U.S. anymore, and he announced Snowden's (very own) idea about possibly applying for Russian citizenship with the intent to stay for a while and "learn Russian culture."
In the meantime, President Vladimir Putin says Snowden's snafu is all America's fault. Then he reiterates that Russia can't wait to be rid of the guy who knows the comprehensive ins and outs of America's National Security Agency — what the Soviet KGB used to call "Omega" to indicate its importance in foreign espionage operations.
In short, intelligence expert and freelance reporter Joshua Foust may be right: the FSB speaks for Snowden now in what looks like "a sophisticated intelligence operation against the United States."Yeah, somehow I think that Putin, ex-KGB, will make asylum contingent upon intelligence.
