Edward
Snowden
In all honesty, I am almost completely
ignorant of the travesties of Edward Snowden. I don’t know what he actually
did; and, therefore, I have no opinion except for one
.
My government has good reason to
classify tactical defense secrets. My government has good reason to classify
strategic defense secrets. I can and do understand that my security and the
security of my country depends upon it. It’s my government’s business and
responsibility as they work for me to insure that security–not mine.
On the other hand, however, if my
government decides to create a public policy of spying on citizens without
probable cause, I believe that is my business. The key word(s) is public policy. In
a democratic republic, wherein my government works for me, I have a right to
know my government’s policy. It is my business.
For that, I thank you, Mr. Snowden.
