Oh wow, bipartisan? You mean both authoritarian business parties approved it? Surely this level of cooperation is unprecedented!

#5We need to do everything we can to support Snowden. Do not let the cynics win. We defeated SOPA in 2012 by making millions of phone calls to Congress, and we protected Net Neutrality in 2014 with millions of public comments to the FCC. Do not let the cynics win.

When it comes to matters of American National Security, there is very little daylight between Democratic and Republican positions, so calling a report bipartisan is not something that indicates that its contents were carefully debated, but rather that debate on these issues is nearly absent. GIGO.

#7One thing this article doesn't take into account is that the movie the author undoubtedly watched before writing this was full of inaccuracies, and had the purpose of establishing Snowden as a martyr or sorts. This is evident because rather than just prove their point, the author makes several attempts to make sure the reader knows that if you hold an opposing view, you are intellectually lazy and unable to cope with reality.
Not arguing either way, but if you are going to take a strong stance, don't make an article about how the opposing stance is only held by the weak minded.

What if you really think that's the case?
Screw it, I'll say it. I think anyone who condemns Snowden is intellectually lazy or has vested interests in NSA surveillance. I have yet to see a single cogent rebuttal of Snowden's moral case.

#10Another important question is whether or not the NSA should be pardoned for their illegal activity: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-security-nsa-idUSKBN0N...
Or whether James Clapper deserves a pardon for committing perjury during a testimony to Congress: http://www.hasjamesclapperbeenindictedyet.com
