so far, lincoln chafee is the only person to say edward snowden should be allowed to come home. he hasn't elaborated on whether or not he is a traitor or not, but i still feel like it's political kryptonite. i interviewed all the guys on hill who are working in the wake of edward snowden to reform our surveillance state. no one will say he has done a good thing for the country. >> right. and part of that is because even though a victory was scored this week for, you know for snowden and those who agree with him that it's unconstitutional, that all these overreaches have taken place, the fact is that even after the bulk collection of phone records was ruled unconstitutional, the vast

this was due to the great sacrifice of edward snowden. would just like to have the opportunity to thank him for what he did for all americans, democrats and republicans because he stood up, at great personal cost to himself and his family, and i support him, and i believe the president of the united states should part in mr. snowden, and he should be recognized for the stuff that he revealed out there. that is my comment. host: the president has released a statement on the senate action in terms of the moving forward on debate. and they said, the president said, rather, the president took an important if late step forward tonight. this was a short-lived as possible on a matter of national security. they must put aside their partisan motivations and act swiftly. the american people deserve nothing less. calls from smithfield, tennessee, independent line. aaron, welcome. guest: i want to say that i was agreeing with rand paul, that you can just go after these terrorists who are a threat to america. let me just say that i agree with him. the

this after russia and china reportedly decrypted files stolen by nsa leaker edward snowden. senior british officials tell "the sunday times" more than one million classified files were opened. the identities of special agents could be jeopardized. they have been removed from hostile countries. you will remember that edward snowden is currently living in russia where he was granted asylum. u.s. officials charge him with espionage. >> these allegations are all in an article in the "sunday times" in the u.k. they alleged that mi-6 which is the foreign intelligence unitof the british government had to pull their service members from live operations in hostile countries after they say russia and chinese governments dekriptd files taken by the nsa leaker edward snowden. it doesn't indicate in that article how those files were taken, whether they were handed over or somehow hacked in. of course, when edward snowden passed through the region, he spent two weeks in hong kong and then fled to russia, never spending time in mainland china and he has repeatedly himself said on the reco

sor they say snowden downloaded 1.7 million documents. itself says they have no idea how many documents edward snowden documented. so the argument is just filled with lies in order to help these anonymous people in government who are too cowardly to say these claims themselves. in the article it says the government official whose identity we're hiding says that snowden has blood on his hands. later it says there's no evidence anyone has been harmed. well if there's no evidence anyone has been harmed how can he have blood on his hands? it's just a way of smearing whistleblowers and sources. if you go back to 1971 when the pentagon papers was leaked nixon officials did the same thing. they planted claims with the media that elsburg had secretly passed sensitive documents to the kremlin, to the soviet union. this is what they do in every case. responsible journalists questioned. whether or not there's evidence for it whereas propaganda simply printed without any questioning of it and that's what the sunday times has con. >> the u.s. charged
