A former New Hampshire Senator has jumped into the fray of whether or not an NSA whistleblower was correct in letting the people of the world know that the United States government is spying on them, according to the British newspaper the Guardian.
Former U.S. Sen. Gordon Humphrey, R-Chichester, and the owner of WKXL radio in Concord, wrote Edward Snowden an email on July 15, commending him for his actions and wishing him well in finding asylum.
In the email, Humphrey stated that Snowden had “done the right thing in exposing what I regard as massive violation of the United States Constitution.”
