If #SNOWDEN aided the enemy by telling the public the truth, is the public the enemy?

There is not enough outrage.

Bolivia hasn't kicked the US ambassador out of their country over the outrage of the Bolivian president's plane being diverted/grounded....neither have his supposed allies.

Countries who are outraged should be demanding answers from US ambassadors....should let their currencies appreciate instead of absorbing all the inflation the US is exporting.

Obama's approval rating is still way too high at about 45% after all the spying he's responsible for.

thought there was more coming right away?

It's almost been 3 weeks for #Snowden at the airport. I think it's time we send in 300 Snowden lookalikes and spice things up a bit!

Delaying congress from passing #CISPA and other #CyberLegislation is another reason to thank #Snowden.

Supreme Court asked to stop NSA telephone surveillance


Washington (CNN) -- The U.S. Supreme Court is being asked to stop the National Security Agency's surveillance of domestic telephone communications data.

In an emergency appeal filed Monday, a privacy rights group claimed a secret federal court improperly authorized the government to collect the electronic records, and said only the justices could resolve the statutory issues at stake.

The Electronic Privacy Information Center filed its petition directly with the high court, bypassing the usual step of going to the lower federal courts first.

Such a move makes it much harder for the justices to intervene now, but the privacy group argues "exceptional ramifications" demand judicial review now.

Published reports linked to Edward Snowden, who has admitted leaking classified national security information, indicated the NSA received secret court approval to collect vast amounts of so-called metadata from telecom giant Verizon and leading Internet companies, including Microsoft, Apple, Google, Yahoo and Facebook.

The revelations have triggered new debate about national security and privacy interests, and about the secretive legal process that sets in motion government surveillance.

The once-secret approval came in April from a judge at the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which handles individual requests for electronic surveillance for "foreign intelligence purposes."
