"people like Putin is why we have to have the NSA in the first place" so the government propaganda does work :)

  I am not defending the NSA or claiming that we should not curtail or better monitor what they are doing. What I am saying is, being a freedom fighter and then seeking asylum in Russia which is the place that heavily curtails personal freedoms of all kinds is kind of ironic don't you think? especially in light of the fact that Snowden allegedly has these 4 laptops with him

    being a freedom fighter and then seeking asylum in Russia which is the place that heavily curtails personal freedoms of all kinds is kind of ironic when the rest of the world bows to US threats and hands over official presidential planes for searching, there's not much choice is there? and yes, the whole situation is very ironic, if you your views on the world come from western media

      So it all boils down to "the enemy of my enemy" rationale then?
