    You know it's going to be a movie someday.

    All I can say is, if James Van Der Beek and Krysten Ritter's (of don't trust the B in apartment 23) agents are not shopping them as possiblities to play Edward Snowden and Laura Poitras in the eventual movie to be made about this NSA story, then James Van Der Beek and Krysten Ritter have the dumbest agents in the history of Hollywood.

    My prediction is that Van Der Beek's career will be revitalized by the (eventual) film in the same way that John Travolta's was revitalized by Pulp Fiction, and that he will cause a minor poopstorm by proclaiming "Thank God for government overreach!" during his Golden Globe acceptance speech.

    Interesting that David Simon says Please. This is bullshit. along the lines of "much ado about nada," or "I could come up with more controversial cop plot in my sleep"...

    The bullshit being dumped upon us, is by the author..... If you don't want terrorists, stop creating them. We dont have to give up our Bill of rights because we are at war, stop the wars...... Quit making enemies around the world, that we have to defend against.  The author states  "They did attack the towers" ...... Why did they?  From all appearances, it's our Freedoms our present government is after, while they become militaristic and expansive. Bullshit
