That's good stuff. I wish I could be at NSA HQ to watch all the heads explode in unison.

[HaloMagic]

Those pussies will be too scared to give it to him. Not sure if he deserves it or not but if he does he still won't get it.

[Taylor]

Awesome! The NSA is going on an AO-scale tirade right about now.

[HaloMagic]

Well, looks like we found out who the NSA's next espionage victims are. Sorry Baard Vegar Solhjell and Snorre Valentin of the Norwegian Socialist Left party, you done ****ed up.

Just kidding. We were already watching you

[Hollyw00d]

Awesome! The NSA is going on an AO-scale tirade right about now.

"our international wire tapping program is pathetic! Someone fire angry Barry!"

[Jay]

Barry will launch a few drone attacks in his honor.

[Taylor]

"our international wire tapping program is pathetic! Someone fire angry Barry!"

 

"Stop being soft on traitors! Just STOP it!!!!"

[HaloFan85]

In their nomination letter, Baard Vegar Solhjell and Snorre Valen, who hail from the Socialist Left party, said Snowden's revelations "contributed to a more stable and peaceful world order."

 

And on the same day (shocker, I know):

 

Terrorists and other foes were "going to school" on information revealed by Snowden so far, Clapper told the Senate Intelligence Committee, adding the disclosures put from disclosures put U.S. intelligence operations and citizens at risk.

[Blarg]

I am not completely sure what to think of this guy. On one hand he is a traitor and should be dragged back to the US for trial on treason. On the other hand I kind of want to thank him for exposing the NSA for spying on US citizens. 

[Hollyw00d]

The thing is, he's not a traitor to the American people.

[arch stanton]

Exactly. He may be a traitor to the monster we've created and unleashed on the world but he did the people a favor.

[Hollyw00d]

More like just intelligence operations and their agenda. I feel pretty confident the people are in no more danger now than we were two years ago.

Frankly, I'm happy the "intelligence community" is at risk. The whole thing needs to be torn down and scrapped imo

[arch stanton]

Intelligence operations are not going away. What needs to be scrapped is the idea that it's ok to collect and store data on citizens without warrant or even probable cause and especially that a secret court can magically make things legal and above board.. This is just too convenient to not be abused.

[Hollyw00d]

Agreed
