United States of Secrets, Part Two (full documentary) | FRONTLINE

Why would any reasonable person have any trust or respect for the US Government?

Didn’t Qwest object? And it ended up costing them their business? They were not a small company.

all this threating powers, sounds just like a mafioso family control tactic, you talk - you dXe!

You signed a secrecy clause, a non disclosure agreement. You broke the law whether it was morally righteous or not, you have laws to follow just as I do. There is no justification for revealing things that you cannot possibly understand the full collateral damage of. Trust me, I think of this stuff every day.

All secret government programs used to spy and harass Americans needs to be exposed and stopped. The government has turned the Patriot Act into a weapon against innocent Americans and is still being used today. There is no privacy in America! Surveillance is being used to destroy people's life!

"The government came down on him as a ton of bricks," says one of the soi-disant defense attorneys at one point.
This is a sort of kissy-ass Mrs-Grundyism, a fake precision combined with a slimy pretend superiority, that ought to get people disbarred -- and their high school English graduation certificates revoked.

Edward Snowden for President!

Whats funny is we are all communicating on you tube.
The biggest siick group with there 10 secs adds .
Scum.

Bring Snowdon home. He is not a criminal
He is whistle blower for the people

I do not care what anyone says, Edward Snowden is a hero. He willingly gave his freedom trying to protect all American citizens from a government that has run amuck. Our own government violates our own Constitutional rights and plays it off, they are trying to keep us safe.

Obama, the former president who studied law at Harvard University argued that mass surveillance systems on Americans should remain open.

The perspective offered by this content is enlightening. A book with like themes presented a life-changing viewpoint. "The Silent Bridge: Echoes of the Unspoken Past" by Emma Wick

Opening bit, completely inverse; they are seeking persons who are wise and dissenting to the mafia they've become.

Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary security, deserve neither Liberty nor security.
- Ben Franklin

LOL of course Obama knew but he's a liar. So of course he's not going to admit to any of those claims.

Protect and defend merica even if the means and the people are above the law and unconstitutional it seems.

Who's watching the watcher.

Ben Franklin famously said "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Snowden is a true patriot, putting “we the people” before it’s government!!!

People like Mark Klein are a blessing to this country

So Snowden leaves one 'police' state for another - how honorable of him. Traitor. All you folks complaining about this have something to hide.

Research "Remote Neural Monitoring". Snowden cannot keep them out of his brain.

Yes it sucks that maintaining/preserving freedom costs both the lives of those who volunteer to serve in the military as well as civilians, read your history, remember how the first 13 colonies obtained their freedom (it was paid for in blood). Reducing freedom by executive order or congressional votes will require your grandchildren and great grandchildren to fight to reobtain that freedom with their blood. REMEMBER! Be proactive, not reactive.

Republican (military experience) and Democrat (Congressional experience) presidents both full of crap and willing to use the constitution as toilet paper.

I love how Hayden sayss the public Wil matter but completely disregards the public wil so they can spy even more

911 was an inside job to get all of this rolling! Now even your radios, blue tooth items, refrigerators and most other new appliances all spy on us so you are constantly monitored even if you don't have internet or a cell phone, Orwell 1984 is real.

Bush needed to gather as much intelligence as he possibly could.
You see he had none of his own 😂

Just like the government wants to know everything you say and do but we have no rights know what the hell you all are doing so hush hush shit what's done in the dark will one day come to the light

ha ha - you just have to laugh - this story isn't over by any means but will get swept under the rug for another decade - or more, that is fine - there isn't going to be much to do about it simply because it is beyond the scope of most citizens and even journalists - they are just looking at the tip of the iceberg here, most would agree, only 1% of snowden docs ever got released - the other 99% are probably just too hot to handle - the only conclusion - some of it may damage national security like the ufo stuff and that is understandable, only time and broader investigation/reprise will be able to tell what happened - don't hold your breath

The American people create government so they have a enemy to fight or recognize with.

These officials know better about 9/11

EVERYTHING IS NATIONAL SECURITY, you can’t ask anything to anybody, because it’s a secret program.

How is protecting any American by spying on everybody address book on their email who is Mr. Jones in Iowa or Video of someone family photos in Montana, they’re collecting everything spying in your home by turning on camera’s on your computer watching your daughter get changed, yes that’s what they are doing.

In my humble opinion Snowden is a Hero! And the NSA and select few were collecting everything on everyone.

The Washington Post went from the journalistic heights of exposing Watergate to being owned by Jeff Bezos...omf... And regarding the NYT: Newsweek just said, about them: "Their headline 'Israeli Strike Kills Hundreds in Hospital, Palestinians Say' is abominable journalistic malpractice." Long live editorial BS and may all of YOU, so called journalists, be held publicly accountable and answerable to the veracity of all of your statements, many years, into future. And,. if proven fraudulent .. you deserve very many years in jail.

Whi is the real enemy

Stazi 2.0. Without the armed guards.

Imagine that Barry the bastard lied!

Now they spy on us jn our ho.mes cktizens not foreign ers now its war on us

Well isn’t that comforting! 🤣🤣🤣

internet was invented by cia

Snowden is a hero and Bush and Obama are liars with the billionaire companies. It is both parties. And sadly, Bush CHENEY and their gang who were friends with the Saudis and cared first to fly them out of our country 9/11 while all planes grounded and had they listened to all the warnings Richard Clarke and others gave them it never would happened and now we have this fake excuse to build up spy networks. Both parties are to blame today. We do not need the Patriot Act either.

Makes me wonder if the US is just another China.

The obama and bush administrations have destroyed other's personal life for their games.

😮

When I have a bike accident in 2016 due to police officers and firefighters nonsense sirens on me, to keep the souvenir, I used my IPhone to snap couple pictures of my injured face and save them on my phone, the spy agents on the other hand broke into my phone software, copied the photos and then leaked them to third parties to write a song about it. Yes, the spying is happening for sure.

I know a secret 😮
