He leaked classified info in which he signed a statement saying he wouldnt, he needs to be prosecuted. I signed the same statement he did and if I did that, I would be going to jail.
While we are on the subject, the NSA did not listen in on conversations, it collected phone numbers to analyze patterns to find terrorists. Post 9/11, people were accusing the government of not doing enough to prevent it from happening. NOW the government is doing just what the people wanted, now they are going to bitch. If the average Joe using the Freedom of Informaiton Act asked to see what the NSA was collecting...they would get a UPS truck at their house for 400 to 500 ring binders with phone numbers in them. The NSA doesnt give a fuck if your are calling your mom on Mothers Day. They care about some asshole terrorist calling some other asshole terrorist from the Middle East who lives in Germany about 500 times a month. I do not feel violated in the least bit, because I am not who they are looking for. These last 12 years have been us in that posture.
