The examples you gave are of eloquent if harsh statesmanship from a sitting Senator, and I absolutely agree that is exactly what needs to be happening now. Ed Snowden is actually doing a really good job of it with his press releases, in fact.

But that's a far cry from yelling "bullshit" at the back of a conference room.



Senators have time and access to be harsh statesmen. We, the Surveilled, have only enough time and access to let them know what we think.

What they're doing is bullshit and they should be reminded of it every second of every day by anyone that can tell them.
