U.S. court: Mass surveillance program exposed by Snowden was illegal

Yeah but some people do not want him pardon as he committed espionage and people say he sold out his country. I know innocent til proven guilty. But really hope the truth come on out. If not and if he did sell out his country, really he brought it on himself. Nobody to blame but himself.

I think it is a fool that equates telling the people of a country about their governments illegal violation of their rights with selling out the country. Especially if you are defining the country by the people who live there.

If by country it is meant the government apparatus that is focused on its own empire, then yeah, he sold out those evil souls in favor of the people.

Also remember James Clapper lied to congress when he denied the data collection was happening at all. People have been indicted for lying to congress about a date something happened, but Clapper lying about the largest civil rights violation ever and nothing happens to him.

Remember kids, lying to Congress is wrong, unless you are politically connected on the right sides.
