Glenn Greenwald: The NSA Can "Literally Watch Every Keystroke You Make" | Democracy Now!

Have you ever purchased a computer online? Do you use Microsoft Windows? Well, you should sit down for a moment and listen to this report.

“The goal of the NSA really is the elimination of privacy worldwide — not hyperbole, not metaphor, that’s literally their goal — to make sure that all human communications that take place electronically are collected and then stored,” explains journalist Glenn Greenwald.

We also ask Greenwald about Edward Snowden’s request for amnesty and this is what he told us: “The United States government constantly gives ‘amnesty’ to its highest officials, even when they commit the most egregious crimes — and yet the idea of ‘amnesty’ for a whistleblower is considered radical and extreme.”

“Here’s Michael Hayden: He oversaw the illegal warrantless eavesdropping program implemented under the Bush Administration and he oversaw torture and rendition as the head of the CIA. James Clapper lied to the face of Congress. These are felonies,” he says, “much worse than anything Edward Snowden is accused of doing.”
