The actual interview with Snowden was highly informative and should have put to rest much of the Obama administration's disinformation campaign against Snowden. For reasons of mental hygiene I decided against watching the post-interview discussion -- "Hero or Traitor" that Brian Williams followed up with. The title alone was enough to give me pause. So, my hat off to Juan Cole for covering NBC's hatch-job on Snowden.
In regard to Snowden's revelations, as in so many other areas, the Obama White House is no different than the Bush gang. And, one can safely bet the farm that a Hillary administration will continue trudging along the same path. Yes, these folks are out of control. They are mad with power, giddy with a technology that allows them total spying on the actions and even the thoughts of billions of people. In my opinion there is no stopping them. They will take the country -- at least in terms of civil liberties -- into an irreversible decline.
