Semantics. I apologize if you feel I misrepresented your statements. I can assure you, there was no intention to do so. It appears you are European living in the U.S., and English is not your native language. So I don't always understand exactly what you are trying to say.
As far as claiming things in the past that you said but didn't? Huh? Exactly where did I do that?

It sounds like you have not paid enough attention to see what has built up after 27th. There were more leaks and more details about the programs while goverment officials deliberately denied them along the way, well until the new leaks came out. As of now you know that when they denied these programs they were lying.

I'll ask for the third time, exactly what changed between July 27th and now? Nothing
of significance. By July 27th, the leaks had already been reported for a couple of months. And, NO, on July 27th the government was NOT denying the leaked information.
Furthermore, I referenced the Snowden expose in post #4 in this thread on July 29th.
By your refusal to specify what has supposedly changed (with source links) since that time, I can only conclude that you have been far far behind the curve on this news story and wasn't fully aware of things in July. Very ironic for someone who fears the intrusion of the government.
