Yep. All the FISA judges are lizard men hell bent on world domination and the enslavement of mankind. Or maybe FISA documents aren't publicly released because letting your enemies and individuals who are actively planning attacks against you that you are targeting them is common sense.FISA should be disbanded and outlawed via international laws. FISA is a constitutional phantom zone where our government goes to avoid and bypass it.
If you have state secrets so dire than you need something like FISA, then you done goof'd.Yep. All the FISA judges are lizard men hell bent on world domination and the enslavement of mankind. Or maybe FISA documents aren't publicly released because letting your enemies and individuals who are actively planning attacks against you that you are targeting them is common sense.
Washington going to have tons of rustled jimmies if Russia grants his asylum.US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden has applied to Russia for political asylum, Russian officials say.
Foreign ministry consul Kim Shevchenko said the request was made on Sunday night. The Kremlin has made no comment.
The 30-year-old former CIA analyst is believed to be holed up in a Moscow airport hotel.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Mr Snowden was welcome to stay as long as he stopped "inflicting damage on our American partners"
Yes, if Obama had only overlooked the pattern of federal crimes that occurred over years resulting in the releasing of top secret information and the blackmail of the government... that goddamn Obama...So Snowden has applied for Asylum in the USSR. Had Obama just offered the guy a pardon right off the bat he and his laptops would be sitting happily in D.C. instead of Moscow, the NSA story would be dead and we'd all be talking about the idiocy of naming your baby North West instead. Fuckin' Obama.
Oh man if Obama had offered him a pardon even -I- would be raged. And I certainly don't think that Snowden deserves to DIE (capital offense -- that means our righteous government is threatening his ass with summary execution) for his crime. But an Obama pardon?Yes, if Obama had only overlooked the pattern of federal crimes that occurred over years resulting in the releasing of top secret information and the blackmail of the government... that goddamn Obama...
Our country, before becoming embroiled in the politics and wars of Europe, was not going down this "inevitability" trajectory. I think it's a logical fallacy to believe that all this is destined to happen.While it does feel like we've gone too far, it also seems like a complete inevitability that all advanced countries enter into this territory. If we don't pioneer this shit someone else will, and we'll be fucked playing catch-up. It would be rather nice for this to be a bigger issue in politics as far as elections go, but apparently no one is allowed to talk about it. So how do we select representation to oversee these things when they can't discuss what's going on?
