Wow! I guess that makes Canada and it's government subservient to the US, so that being a Canadian citizen you aren't any better off than a US citizen even if you work for the government!! Maybe NSA has gotten too powerful for it's own good. It's interesting the spin starting in the press-sowing the seeds of doubt.. "Although some Americans still support Snowden and consider him a patriot, most Americans now want him tossed in jail. Snowden's initial leaks focused on data that the U.S. National Security Agencyis collecting about Americans, which triggered perfectly reasonable questions about whether the NSA is collecting too much data and whether Americans' privacy rights are being violated. But in the past week, Snowden's leaks have turned to exposing U.S. spying on world leaders at a G20 conference and, according to a Chinese newspaper, detailing computer hacking attacks by the U.S. on Chinese targets. These leaks seem self-serving and motivated not by concern about Americans but by a desire to curry favor with China and a personal dislike of spying of any kind." So let's see -exposing U.S. spying on G20 members. Actually it was the UK that did the spying, although they probably shared it with the US. Wire-taping countries leaders who are friendly to the UK/US, reading their e-mails and texts! Is the crime going public with it or the acts of doing it. Certainly doesn't promote "trust and faith" in the club of g20, let's all work together etc., does it? And is it legal? The piece goes on "hacking by the US on Chinese targets" non-specific of course, one of these targets was a university another was Hong Kong's government. The audacity of the politicians to then accuse Hong Kong and China of improper conduct in allowing him to leave without arresting him on behalf of the US! UFB
