kudos:12 | Big brass ones I've got to admit, this guy has a big, brass set of 'em. He's lucky he wasn't found with a bullet in the back of his head in an alley. I wouldn't put that past the NSA or AT&T.
However - and maybe I'm drinking the governmental Kool-Aid here - but perhaps the information he has isn't that damaging at all and the investigative organization has found out all they need to know?
It sounds more like he's whining because he's no longer in the spotlight. |

It sounds more like he's whining because he's no longer in the spotlight. I actually agree with you on this one. This guy is just pissed because the media has stopped asking him for interviews, and his phone has stopped ringing. He probably lost a contract to do some cheesy "made for TV" movie, and he clearly regrets leaving his cushy job at ATT. I dont think any company in the industry will be jumping at the chance to hire a person like him either. Furthermore, all his wild claims seem to have fallen by the wayside, and almost everyone (from all parties) has withdrawn their support of his allegations. Once it became clear that his claims of "illegal" and "evil" activity werent true, most intelligent people lost interest in him.

I wouldn't say all his claims have been proven false. But the fact of the matter is that once this bill passes, and presumably it will, everything he has to say will be moot anyways, so why would anyone want to continue to muddy themselves with ugly things like facts when the support to brush it all under the carpet is unanimous?

And you two twits are why this stuff keeps happening. You don't back the guy, you don't press for what is right, you simply sit back and chastize.

I'm not required to back the guy, I personally don't give a flying rats behind. My government isn't the one listening in on my phone calls. And assuming it was I wouldn't have supported bush 8 years ago any more than I support him today.
But I tell you what, start a campaign with a viable strategy for getting all the money, corruption, lobbying, and other BS out of government and get it to start working for the people and I'll back you 100%.
Until then, I'll continue to choose my battles and find a way to work in and around the system that we're stuck with.

Can you point to these "all parties" that have withdrawn their support? All that has been established is he is a whistleblower on a significant issue and a congress that just rolled over on telco immunity didn't call him has a witness. *Shock*! Your assumption has little basis in reality. |

| said by wifi4milez:Can you reference a single person being arrested, convicted, or sentenced for this alleged crime? Nope. The government isn't filing any charges. In fact they're doing the opposite, trying to help cover it up. So Explain how no arrest, conviction, or sentence means that nothing illegal occurred?
Is this that "It's only wrong if you're caught" type of idea?

Why, is there some mysterious 3rd party (that nobody knows about yet has hundreds of millions of members) that is throwing their full support behind this guy? Ohhhh, I know. It must be the Free Masons since they have secretly infiltrated our political system. I hate to break it to you, but the Republicans and Democrats ARE the majority politcal parties in the US today. This guy no longer has any support from anyone, and thankfully so.
