To many, the case raises questions about Snowden’s choice of Hong Kong as a haven as he fights an expected legal battle against extradition, and the broader implications regarding the secrets he has revealed.

Amid monsoon rains in the city where Snowden remains in hiding, hundreds of Hong Kongers, expatriates and tourists marched on the U.S. Consulate.

For whatever value the NSA program might hold, it isn't worth a tinker's damn if unethical thugs are in charge of it . . .

And that, my friend, sums up the entire issue more concisely than anything which I have yet to read on the subject.

May be a lot more to this story. Cheney was openly wondering if Snowden was being aided by the Chinese and why he would flee to China. Also he wonders if there were others in the NSA helping him or passing more sensitive information.

The opening line needs a little work. It should read,

Hundreds of people paid by the Red Chinese government pretended to rally in Hong Kong Saturday in support of former U.S. government contractor Edward Snowden...

When I was in China the government would bus protesters armed with bags of garbage - mostly PLA - to the embassy of which ever country had offended the powers that be. Once the TV reporters got set up the director called "Action!" and the spontaneous protest got started.
