ISIS changing tactics due to Snowden leaks

[John Connor]

Dude, youre crazy. Snowden is a hero.

You want him shot because.....why? Because he exposed the US government for spying on its citizens? Dont you think you should channel your anger towards the people causing the real problems (terrorists) and not towards the people trying to help?

HE HELPED THE FREAKING TERRORISTS! You wanna know about the NSA, read a book! Start with The Secret Sentry. Personally, I knew for YEARS that the NSA was intercepting all communications. I didn't need a little shit weasel commit tyranny to tell me that and the enemy.

You help the freaking terrorists too. By paying taxes and supplying "rebels" with arms and funds. So what.

(If you don't know how, think about what happens when the terrorists kill those we supply with arms and funds. Hint: They collect the loot)

 

[John Connor]

I am 98% certain that you once labeled Snowden a hero on these forums.

Don't think so.

 

[John Connor]

LMAO! I'm afarid not paying taxes is out of my control. Ben Franklin said ' there are two things certain in life; death and taxes. '

ISIS currently has a shit load of oil to fund their games without frontiers.

so, basically you're smarter than the terrorists, because you didn't need Snowden to tell you what you already knew; yet apparently the terrorists needed that?

OK, sure.

also, I love how you are eating up the Administration's by-line on Snowden by calling him a "tyrannous shit weasel." I never figured you for a stooge of the Obama administration.

So now the NSA just needs to search for encrypted traffic coming from target nations, or the terrorists have to pass notes like in high-school.

One scenario is a big red come get me flag, the other you have reduced communication capability from lightspeed to camel speed. Seems like a win to me.

Title should read:
"Americans Changing Tactics Due to Snowden Leaks" The NSA certainly in the past 6 months has done more to spy on Americans than ISIS because if they had done the latter thoroughly, ISIS wouldn't be a problem today, would it?

No. You subscribe too much power to NSA

Snowden was both. He was a hero for exposing how our Constitutional rights are being violated via spying on our own citizens. He was a traitor for telling our enemies (and friends) how we were spying on them.

I agree.

You are right. We need all those things so the government should be telling you who and what you should be having sex with, assuming you have sex.

I hope this is just snarkiness.

Maybe my tin foil hate mentality on the government's capability is what came true? Could I be a profit? LOL You honestly think the bad guys are smart? Intellect isn't on the high side with you, is it? The terrorist are now using encryption and changing tactics thanks to the Snowden crap. It happened with Osama with his sat phone and he switched to human couriers. Matter of fact it was a courier that lead the CIA to Osama.

Are you both kissing cousins or perhaps your ages are 12?

John the profit

 

[ivwshane]

If you want some conspiracy theory it could be said, based on historical facts, that the CIA is working with ISIS!

Did I just blow your minds?!

[PieIsAwesome]

Scaring ISIS into not using electronic communication. Good. That's kinda the point of our spy agencies.

I hear they are afraid to even use radio. Lol.

"ZOMG he help the terrorists!!" does NOT trump "The NSA is violating the US Constitution by systematically monitoring the communications of US citizens." Sorry, OP fail.

It is possible to be mad at Snowden for giving away how we spy on foreign entities while simultaneously being happy he brought the NSA's domestic spying program to light.

 

[John Connor]

Kinda like being screwed in the butt and a reach around at the same time, isn't?

 

[z1ggy]

Lol, Snowie helped terrorists due to the fact they now use more secure communication methods?? That's some solid logic right there.

exactly

...exactly.

though the net benefit of his actions are still far greater than the negatives.

Look back at the release of the Pentagon papers. Ellsberg was branded no differently than Snowden, but that information (which essentially revealed the exact same activities that Snowden leaked), led to massive reform with the intelligence and justice/investigation entities--particularly the FBI--e.g. term limits on the director. At that point, the FBI had seen only one director: Hoover, who sat there accumulating piles and piles of information regarding his "enemies" (Everyone that was not Hoover) for decades. At the time, I dont' think it was an exaggeration to consider him the most powerful person in the country, as it is strongly suggested that he had blackmail bait on every administration in which he served.

What Snowden served to reveal is that despite those reforms, the intelligence community, largely the NSA to replace the FBI, has been rebuilding those very same domestic spy programs

OP, is the Kool aid grape flavor or fruit punch?

Ask the Washington Times if they are drinking Kool aid.
