I was shocked that the Congressman came out and said that. He pretty much confirmed everything. I would not be surprised if he finds himself involved in a "scandal" shortly. Payback is a bitch.

It is also quite disgusting that most members went home for a long weekend rather than sit and get answers to a lot of things that were not previously told to them. Just shows you how complicit Congress is in all of this.

Snowden addressed each criticism (which were not many to begin with) and I do not doubt his credibility, especially with the response he's been receiving from the government.

Not only that, he promises that there is more to come. Even with the slideshow outing PRISM, the journalists withheld something like 40 slides because they went too far and exposed too much. What they released was just a teaser to show it/he are legit.
