I guess I'm displaying my stupid ignorance here. I didn't make the connection (due to my studying for my state board exam I guess) that this guy was the one who revealed the government snooping stuff. Now I feel stoopidd. I'm with you guys that such things are absolutely wrong. I was just reading the first couple paragraphs and thinking this guy released more stuff like that guy did a couple years ago. That's what I get for skimming the stories instead of reading in depth. Sorry :(
Not to make you feel more stoopidder, but at least when I said "We should be wary of what we don't know, of making broad assumptions, etc..." I was referring to Warbler, myself, the author of the article, and any others saying maybe it's not as dangerous as the government claims and that it is something that can/should be openly debated. That was my little disclaimer that we could be wrong. Though I must admit, I don't know what element of free speech you see. Good luck on the exams!
