countries spy on the U.S. all the time, especially China. Putin would like to have some inside secret info to use against the U.S. I held a top secret security clearance from DOE and DoD for over 20 years while working at the Oak Ridge. I don't take security lightly and don't look kindly on anyone that betrays the trust of the U.S. Snowden only worked for the CIA subcontractor for one month. He left with four laptop computers and a briefcase full of CDs. I could be wrong Jim but I think he took that job in Hawaii just to get the secret info and skip the country. He had no intentions of staying in the U.S. and being a whistle blower. I didn't like the Patriot Act when Congress passed it and I hope Obama will put some curbs and checks on the NSA's activities. I don't have problems with the Meda Data collection but do have some serious concerns about possible misuse of the data. We call my wife's relatives in Germany all the time and I have no problem with the NSA keeping record of our calls. They would be bored stiff if they ever listened in.
