NAPOLITANO: A Conspiracy So Vast

Readers of this page are well aware of the revelations during the past six months of spying by the National Security Agency (NSA). Edward Snowden, a former employee of an NSA vendor, risked his life and liberty to inform us of a governmental conspiracy to violate our right to privacy, a right guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment.

The conspiracy he revealed is vast. It involves former President George W. Bush, President Obama, their aides, a dozen or so members of Congress, federal judges, executives and technicians for American computer servers and telecommunications companies, and the thousands of NSA employees and vendors who have manipulated their fellow conspirators. The conspirators all agreed that it would be a crime for any of them to reveal the conspiracy. Mr. Snowdenviolated that agreement in order to uphold his higher oath to defend the Constitution.

At least this article doesn't blame Obama entirely.Granted, he sure hasn't helped much, in this regard or any other. NOT an Obama supporter, or Dem. But it's not like he started the NSA, or mass spying on the American people. A lot of people seem to forget that, and he and his admin alone are not to blame, for this anyway!
