    You seem to think you can't be honorable and a traitor.

    He betray the trust of the government, hence 'traito'r. He may have done so for honorable reasons, but that doesn't make betraying your country any less traitorous.

    traitor

    noun

    a person who betrays a friend, country, principle, etc.

    NSA is about SIGINT, which is what this was. If they had gone with thin thread, they could collect data and NOT have violated previous without a court.

    There mandate is to watch and track Signal Intelligence. It's refines, for example you have communist countries which are one group.. and non communist countries in another each with their own guidelines.

    What that highlights is most of the problems are about transportation and distribution. Since most people can't think beyond there own lives, having people live 400 years might give reason to work on the logistics

    Hell, just a massive global education policy for women would reduce the birth number dramatically.
