In Mr. Snowden's case, I think "douche-nozzle" covers all the semantic bases.
Is the IRS Lois Lerner to be trusted?
Did Clapper lie?
Do you think that SWCS can be trusted?
Do you think that any part of the federal gov’t - directly or in directly - can be trusted right now?
Do you think that a massive ad hominem attack against Snowden is possible, and/or a circling of the wagons, pro-Obama style?
[Well actually not even a poseur, he claimed to be training to be SF, so that makes him a poseur wannabe, or a wannabe poseur.]
A dumb poseur. The military stores service records forever.
"NSA leaker Ed Snowden claimed to have broken both of his legs while training for Special Forces. "
The article treats the above statement like "while training as part of the special forces". While Snowden could have meant "while training to get into Special Forces".
Maybe he got snookered into proposing to the ballerina/pole-dancer and figured this as a way out.
Alinsky rules. /sarc
“He broke his legs while at Fort Benning. “
Broke his legs, how?
“Snowden was never a student at SWCS.”
Is there any way his record (data) could have been altered?
I seem to remember a certain saudi national having his
documents and records altered my Napotlatano so he could
beat a hasty getaway.
So in two weeks we know everything about Snowden - his truths and lies.......five years since obama was elected still we know nothing about obama’s past or his present and
ten+ years since he has actively been involved in politics and we know nothing.
Is the government collecting data on Americans without just cause or not?
Seems that should be our focus here.
This smearing and obfuscating sh*t has got to stop.
What he said was true or false, on its own merits.
EIther the gubmint is or is not spying on us.
I saw the court order itself, in the Guardian yesterday.
It looked real to me. (not that that is worth anything). Court Order
Judging by the reaction, I'd have to say it's more true than not.
I’ve been telling people if you don’t have a High School Diploma you are disqualified for many specialized jobs, including being an underwater BB stacker.
This guys is an invention. A nice shiny object for your distraction.
Enigma/Ultra
This might be a classic "impeach the witness smear" by the government. Where did Snowden make such a claim? We need a source other than hearsay.
When you cannot refute what this guy says, you go for the personal attack. Point is, it is not being denied that what he has said that is relevant to the NSA is the truth.
It wasn’t a lie he just told the the story in the least untruthful way.
During some type of physical activity (training)?
I am not sure, none of my children “graduated” from high school. They are homeschoolers. I am amazed at how little we really know and how much the information about this man can be manipulated.
No family interviews?
No friend interviews?
The only question that needs to be answered right now is whether or not the NSA has been spying on every single American Citizen?
So far all indications are that the answer to that question is YES.
Also, if Snowden lie about his credentials and could still get a job monitoring every single American’s private e-mails, text messages, Face Book posts, Google searches.... Then God only knows how many terrorists, unfriendly governments and blackmailers have the same access.
Right now all I want to know is how much has the government been spying and how long it has been going on and whether John Roberts was blackmailed into approving Obamacare.
Who gave the orders to stand down in Benghazi and where was 0 that entire night?
