Edward Snowden informs China: We've been Hacking Them for Years

Is he still everyone's HERO? Still want to bring him home to meet your parents?

In my book he's just crossed the line:
U.S. intelligence agents have been hacking computer networks around the world for years, apparently targeting fat data pipes that push immense amounts of data around the Internet, NSA leaker Edward Snowden told the South China Morning Post on Wednesday. 
Among some 61,000 reported targets of the National Security Agency, Snowden said, are thousands of computers in China -- which U.S. officials have increasingly criticized as the source of thousands of attacks on U.S. military and commercial networks. China has denied such attacks. 
The Morning Post said it had seen documents provided by Snowden but was unable to verify their authenticity. The English-language news agency, which operates in Hong Kong, also said it was unable to independently verify allegations of U.S. hacking of networks in Hong Kong and mainland China since 2009. 
Snowden told the paper that some of the targets included the Chinese University of Hong Kong, public officials and students. The documents also "point to hacking activity by the NSA against mainland targets," the newspaper reported. 
The claims came just days after U.S. President Barack Obama pressed Chinese President Xi Jinping to address cyberattacks emanating from China that Obama described as "direct theft of United States property." 
Snowden's allegations appear to give weight to claims by some Chinese government officials that the country has been a victim of similar hacking efforts coming from the United States.

Beijing Eddie lost any chance of my support when he chose to sleep with our enemy.

Right Speak .... I find it really hard to believe that you believe everything CNN tells you! You have been out to discredit Snowden from the beginning for some odd reason. I, like many of my fellow Patriot brothers dont believe everything the media tells us. They do lean towards the liberals and Oduma you know! You of all people should know that the media will try to bury this guy for going against our corrupt, Obama lead Government and they would never lie to us, huh! Good luck with the Liberal media guiding you through life!

So you're denying the latest news that THE TRAITOR gave NAMES, PLACES, and made DOCUMENTS available on our hacking efforts of China? Everyone is on this now..WSJ, Fox News...etc. NOT just CNN

LETS ASSUME their TRUE. If TRUE, do you still give THE TRAITOR a pass?

BTW I don't hold this disagreement between us as a grudge. I probably agree with you on 95% of everything else. Just not this.

I'm not willing to let Liberals/Libertarians/Team Obama cash in on the Conservative frenzy over surveillance programs. THEY want to end ALL those type programs that have been keeping us safe. I DON'T. I want anyone who's abused them prosecuted.

THE TRAITOR lost me when he went from generalities to giving SPECIFICS on our efforts with China. He didn't have to do that..but he did.
