Also, no major world power can survive if people can regularly betray their country and leak top secret information to the public. This is what Snowden did.
How can you fight terrorism without getting as much info as you can on everyone? Spying is something every major country does anyway. If you think America is doing something so extraordinarily out of the norm with PRISM... you are naive.
If America goes soft on Snowden, what's top stop future leaks? We cannot tolerate traitors.
Of course, because the British Empire was tapping everyone's phone calls and monitoring their internet history...
Seems legit.
They did plenty of spying. So the USA can do it too...
Countries that don't spy enough on their own people and everyone else don't last very long... countries that allow traitors to get away (like Snowden) also don't last long because discipline breaks down.
I don't want the USA to fall... Snowden must be dealt with.
