This Snowden NSA leak saga is doing strange things to me.
For starters, it has me obsessed. This real-time spy thriller has
me scanning through the Internets, searching for the latest news and looking
for any and all information about this snowy-white computer whiz kid that I can
dig up. I want to know everything.
Freedom of
information
I want to know more details about Snowden's life, like when
he switched from believing that whistle blowers were traitors to believing that
they are heroes.
I want to know the details of his military service, along
with what Snowden's opinion might be about the fact that the US
Army is declining to release his records. Would he condemn the government's
refusal to reveal the truth, or would he applaud the government's respect for
his right to privacy?
I want to know why the initial sensational reports by both The Guardian and The Washington Post about the PRISM Internet surveillance program had
gotten the details of the NSA's access to information wrong, erring, of
course, on the side of sensationalism.
