The weak and dishonorable bully.

Documents from the National Security Agency leaked by Edward Snowden show how the US has been snooping on telephone calls and internet traffic of other countries. Not just on enemies but on friends as well. Documents obtained by the German Weekly, Der Spiegel show that US intelligence services used bugs, phone taps and cyber monitoring to obtain information from European Union embassies and offices in Washington, New York and Brussels. TOI, 1 July. " Documents from September 2010 classified as " top secret " by the National Security Agency, which were leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, revealed how the agency planted bugs at the EU offices in Washington and New York and gained access to their internal computer networks," said Der Spiegel. " This enabled the NSA not only to snoop into the conversations at the EU missions, but also to monitor the emails and internal documents on their computers." This has shocked and angered EU lawmakers who are calling for punitive actions. Not just foreigners, the Obama administration has been snooping on US journalists as well. The Justice Department was monitoring 20 phone lines used by 100 journalists at The Associated Press over a 2 month period this year. The FBI was monitoring phone calls of James Rosen of Fox News for a 2009 scoop in which he predicted that North Korea will conduct further nuclear tests in response to increased sanctions. At the same time the Obama administration has gone after whistle-blowers with a vengeance. Edward Snowden is stuck in Moscow airport because of US pressure on other countries not to grant him asylum. His citizenship has been cancelled and his passport withdrawn. Citizenship is the birthright of every human being and cancelling it amounts to wiping out a man's identity which makes it akin to murder. That is of no bother to Obama who has been killing hundreds of innocent people by using drones over Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and wherever the hell it pleases him. He sanctioned the killing of US citizen Anwar al-Awlaki by a drone attack in Yemen and followed it up with the killing of his son, 16 year old Abulrahman who was born in Denver in the US. So why is a man who taught constitutional law at Harvard engaged in murders and other immoral actions. Because he is a weak man. He does not have the guts to stand up to the Republicans who have humiliated him from the time he was elected but he bends over and talks about bipartisanship. And like all weak men he is paranoid vindictive and sly. Is it any wonder that George Bush is becoming more popular everyday?
