and burgess the british spies who you know fled then the soviet union i mean it was just insane. you know what they're doing to snowden is a quite concerted an orchestrated effort at character assassination because the fact is he has exposed a clear violation of crimes against the constitution that's a statement made by the former vice president al gore and so rather than deal with what he has exposed which is the wholesale surveillance. in direct violation of our constitutional rights they go after him personally so i mean that that is the tactic that is bend the tactic and that will be the tactic but also on brain conserve court and what else i'm thinking about surveillance are pouring in all the time and knowing about surveillance hasn't really changed the fact that we're still all being surveilled when it's all still happening so do you think it makes their eyes snowden affair lose absolutely massive or. well that's what those of us in the states are worried about. there will be some kind of cosmetic reforms review panels you know they'll play around with who holds the metada
