Ron Paul: 'We should be thankful' for Edward Snowden
``The government does not need to know more about what we are doing. We need to know more about what the government is doing,`` Paul said in a Campaign for Liberty statement. ``We should be thankful for individuals like Edward Snowden and Glenn Greenwald who see injustice being carried out by their own government and speak out, despite the risk. They have done a great service to the American people by exposing the truth about what our government is doing in secret.''
Texas Republican Rep. Ron Paul, chairman of a major House subcommittee and a man with serious ideas and a significant base of support, deserves far more respect than he is getting from the media and pundit communities.
