Edward Snowden - the Brian Williams Interview

[skydivr]

Anybody see it?

I have to say, this kid does not come off looking or sounding like a traitor to me. He thought it thru; he tried to work thru channels. He claims to have kept if from the Russians nor received any financial gain. He claims to have kept out specifics that would directly harm any individuals. Clean, well-spoken, calm and thoughtful.

What he describes, used against AMERICAN CITIZENS, IHMO is in clear violation of the Constitution.

Opinions?

John Kerry, the hypocrite, seems to have forgotten his own protests against the government over the Vietnam war....Just who is the bigger "coward" and "traitor"...?

As the NSA logs this thread...

Since they can't argue the benefits of their programs they've turned to character assassination and trying to be the loudest one in the room.

Didn't watch that interview, however I did watch a 4hr PBS frontline special about it very recently.

Snowden is definitely not a traitor in my book, and more along the lines of a hero.

It's on my list of things to watch this week.

The only harm I see that he's done is that he's forced the NSA to spy on us MORE secretively. More tax dollars to fund a new server bunker somewhere else.

They don't have some super secret alien technology no one else has.

The only leg up they have on anything is the power of authority and secrecy.

In case anyone is interested TrueCrypt has basically ended as a viable encryption method. A lot of people are thinking our government got to them.

Wow! I've been using true crypt for months with no issues. Scary stuff.

Don't download 7.2 for anything. Older versions appear to still be safe.

That was an excellent Frontline. They really put out some good stuff. I threw it up on Facebook (oh the irony) and it only got a couple of hits when a lot of my other posts get lit up. It's sad how most don't know or just don't care how big this part of our government has gotten and how much they know about everyone.

On another note the latest frontline about Ukraine and Syria is also excellent.


I may ride a little fast and someday it may catch up and bite me in the ass but maybe not if I give it just a little more gas.

According to truecrypt, they don't feel like they have a niche anymore. Apparently they feel that bitlocker built-in to windows vista and up are more than secure. The US Government also feels that bitlocker is secure, FYI. So as WinXP is phasing out, they feel that their niche is gone and have decided to stop developing it.

At least, that's according to what's up on their site.
