John Conyers nsa illustration law At least in Europe, we consider the right to privacy a fundamental right and it is a very serious matter. Jose Manuel Barroso nsa fundamentals europe I think one of the most shocking things is how little our elected officials knew about what the NSA was doing. Congress is learning from the reporting and that's staggering. Snowden and [former NSA employee] William Binney, who's also in the film as a whistleblower from a different generation, are technical people who understand the dangers.

Matt Shea nsa inspiring years I'll tell you what's funny about it [NSA wiretapping]: They tell us we got to cut the budget; we have to have budget rollback.
