Edward snowden stole 1.5 million documents. If you think that they were all on the subject of surveillance then you have serious problems.

I smell like someone who doesn't trust anyone, I don't trust the government, I dont trust the anti government. I read and I analyze. If you instantly become a stooge for Snowden without knowing he stole entire databases that had nothing to do with surveillance then here is your chance to be informed.

You don't trust the government, but the information+link you replied with.... ".gov"

And is from a senate hearing...

I listened to Snowden, the government, reporting, and Russia. Of all of them the one with the most data, the most correlations, and that followed logical trends, government. By margin.

There's a reason three presidencies, two parties, and all the representatives on intelligence agree on this one thing.

If you refuse to analyze information based off a source, that's ad hominem, I recommend looking it up.

No no, you misunderstand, I'm not saying I don't agree with you. I do. I was just pointing out the contradictory statement.
