Yep, them’s the ones

Those ‘Lawmakers’ that are standing by and allowing an american patriot “whistle blower” get railroaded for informing the people what our government is doing To Us… They need to worry about reelection and their dereliction of duty.

Even now the USA do not understand why so many countries are annoyed by them?The USA do not respect other countries.Unless they change that, they will be on the downgrade.

Officials are denying Snowden’s claims about surveillance in the US but we can’t expect them to admit he’s right. Just one more example of Big Brother watching over our “private” lives!

I do not fault him for exposing the spying but I do find the downloading and copying of secrets treasonous. He should be repatriated and tried as a traitor. There are ways to bring wrongs to light without committing treason.

LOVE IT!

James Bond’s Saville Row suits with exploding cufflinks.

There are stores all over named Spyware. They sell all sorts of good stuff…

I agree! I thought it should have said “boxers” or something similar.

The problem is that those “certain people” have become any one who disagrees with our president. Just like Cuba.

On the one hand, our government downplays the significance of Snowden’s revelations—they’re only collecting metadata; they’re not violating anyone’s rights; everything is properly sanctioned by court orders in accordance with the Constitution—but on the other hand, they want Snowden brought back to the U.S. in chains to face trial for treason because of the damaging nature of the secrets he has revealed. This is inherently contradictory. Given that Snowden has been very careful not to expose any individuals or reveal any technical plans that would allow an enemy to use our technology against us, then his revelations are only damaging to the U.S. government, if the government has, in fact, been engaged in wrongdoing. This is, after all, the same government that has told us time and again that if we’re not doing anything wrong, we should have nothing to hide.

Spell check, it’s “ware” as in hardware.

Had a good chuckle

Besides being a little too current events for me.

The 4th amendment requires that the person and place to be searched be named specifically with probable cause. General fishing expeditions are unconstitutional. If the government had been spying on the specific people they were warned about, instead of the whole country, the Boston bombers might not have succeeded.

wish politics could be left out of the comments

oops that should be comics

Obama is not a crook geez

“Actually, Obama has had little to do with what happened. That’s the problem”-Actually, that isn’t possible.Either he was involved, in which case he was involved.Or he was not involved, in which case his inattention would be involved.-That is independent of the question of whether or not the spying was.is a good thing.(WE LOVE YOU NSA, DON’T GET MAD AT US AS YOU ARE READING THIS.)

“I don’t get it. How is a briefcase “wear” ?”-First, let us explain that Edward Snowden spied on the United States’ spying on the rest of the world and released that information. I don’t know details but have to guess he carried out some of the information he stole in a briefcase. I would assume he used either a flash drive or more reasonably a portable hard drive to copy records at work and then leak them to assorted parties.-I assume you now understand the difference between -ware and wear. Things which physically exist are hardware. Information used in computer programs is called software. (The human brain is often called wetware.)-Anyhoo, a particular form of software is called spyware. For information on that, and being lazy I resort to stealing from Wikipedia, we have:“Spyware is a software that aids in gathering information about a person or organization without their knowledge and that may send such information to another entity without the consumer’s consent, or that asserts control over a computer without the consumer’s knowledge. “Spyware” is mostly classified into four types: system monitors, trojans, adware, and tracking cookies. Spyware is mostly used for the purposes such as; tracking and storing internet users’ movements on the web; serving up pop-up ads to internet users.Whenever spyware is used for malicious purposes, its presence is typically hidden from the user and can be difficult to detect. Some spyware, such as keyloggers, may be installed by the owner of a shared, corporate, or public computer intentionally in order to monitor users.”-This whole thing has folks upset because they differ on how they respond to the fact that the government is spying on us and how they respond to the fact that the fact was made known to the rest of the world and how they respond to the fact of what the actual facts are.-Some believe preservation of human life justifies any action.Some believe preservation of civil liberties are not justified no matter what the cost.Some believe it must be bad/good if Bush 2 was involved in it.Some believe it must be bad/good if President Obama was involved in it.Some are worried about the fact that the NSA knows what they were watching on the Internet last night.-It’s complicated and worthy of discussion.Personally, I’m happy Snowden is in Russia and hope he stays the rest of his long and happy life there.-Please note how much BC touches on in such a brief comic.IMPRESSIVE.

I should point out that something similar happened during the Bush Administration, those who were condemning Bush for it are now defending the Obama administration for doing the same thing. Hypocrisy is an ugly load of garbage.
