Snowden and the buzz around him

Now that Edward Snowden is in Moscow and heading to Ecuador, he can more or less relaxed in a small country until the next coup to be orchestrated by the CIA.

One simple thing most media seem to miss is the fact that, based on what Snowden exposed (and supposed to be true as the US government is after him for exposing it), multiple senior officials in the administration committed perjury in the Congressional hearings.

Personally, Edward Snowden is a hero that will go down in history for, at the least, starting a serious conversation, not about constitutional rights of the People, but how the Government tried to avoid oversight of its activities.  For most Americans, the problem is not ear dropping on their phone calls or porn viewing habits, but how procedurally public oversight is cut off.  We have the balance of power for a reason while the right to know is the foundation of that.  Secret and one-sided hearings by a secret court appointed by a single person (John Roberts) is not even remotely close to legit, especially the legitimacy is now defined by the government and can't be discussed outside that court and the administration.

I don't think Diane Feinstein and alike don't understand the concept, they just think everybody is stupid and will believe whatever she said.

As for Obama, I'm still amazed by how this guy got elected twice. Maybe I'm too naive and playing the race card is still a good move in 2012/2008.  MLK must be very sad if his soul is watching this.
