to that is that we've got to look at the values of companies like facebook and google and skype and microsoft and yahoo and the extent to which people feel that they're genuinely being protected by these companies in which they invest their time invest their their their privacy. in my opinion there's a very very interesting story to come out again we don't see anything there's no need your reaction to that may be a trickle you know politically might be a trickle as well but. as far as u.s. policy is concerned i think there's pretty close bipartisan stance on the situation if you look at michael hayden or kerry or john kerry or obama or. mccain i just think coming back to what you know in terms of surgeon and what he released him as a whistleblower i think that we're missing the point i don't think the most wanted man at this point in time is going to be so careless as to release all this information to us when the exact leak of what he was saying is that we're being we're being you know. big brother is watching everywhere and i think he's going to be that you know stupid gonna let us know wha
