Gore: Snowden Revealed 'Crimes Against US Constitution'

In a speech on Tuesday evening, Former Vice President and internet inventor Al Gore said that NSA leaker Edward Snowden “revealed evidence of what appears to be crimes against the US Constitution.” 

During a speech at McGill University, Gore described the NSA snooping operation as “outrageous” and “completely unacceptable.”  He had previously described the NSA’s surveillance as not “really the American way.”

Gore, a former member of the National Security Council, received daily intelligence briefings from CIA.  The Nobel Peace Prize winner explained “”When you are looking for a needle in a haystack, it’s not always wise to pile more hay on the haystack.”
