Senior Republican says U.S. must get Snowden - "Bill of Rights? What's that?"



Oh The Horror!!!!!
The moron GOP Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee says Snowden opened up the U.S. to international "criticism". 


My God!  Say it's not so!!!!!  A top GOP leader says Snowden opened up the U.S. to being criticized around the world for its unconstitutional spying.  Nooooooooooooo!

What a dip shit.

A key congressional Republican said on Sunday that the Obama administration must step up efforts and exert "any and all pressure" on Russia to get it to hand over Edward Snowden, the former U.S. spy agency contractor turned fugitive leaker.

"I'm sure Russia loves this," Representative Michael McCaul, chairman of the House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee, said of the Snowden drama that has opened the United States to international criticism.

McCaul told "Fox News Sunday" that the Russians are "making a mockery" of U.S. foreign policy, and, "I'm sure every day, they're extracting more and more information from this man," reports Reuters News.

Idiot Alert
Rep. Michael McCaul, chairman of the House of Representatives Homeland
Security Committee demands that unconstitutional, GOP created Police
State laws be enforced against Snowden. 
.
Bill of Rights?  What Bill of Rights?


Snowden, a former contractor with the National Security Agency, released previously secret documents revealing details of U.S. telephone and Internet surveillance programs as part of counterterrorism efforts.

He has been stranded at a Moscow airport since late last month. He broke three weeks of silence on Friday and said he wanted asylum in Russia until he can go to Latin America.

Washington has asked Moscow to return Snowden to the United States where he is wanted on espionage charges but has not been able to get him.

McCaul described the showdown as "a test of our foreign policy," and, he said, "I would give the administration low marks for what they've done so far."

"We should be putting any and all pressure we have - economic, trade," on Russia to get Snowden, McCaul said.

McCaul said that the administration has failed to develop an acceptable relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"It's not working," McCaul said. "They're thumbing their nose at the United States."
