Wonder what the NSA has on this guy?

[wku man]

Snowden didn't "reveal" anything that informed people haven't suspected for 15+ years already. Do "Echelon" and "Carnivore" ring any bells? I can't believe people are so shocked that their government might be spying on them.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

I'm amused at all the people that think Snowden fled to Hong Kong because he thinks the Chinese are "better".

In his Twitter interview a couple of days ago, he was very explicit: he went there because he thought it was the only place he could be safe from diplomatic or covert action by the US Government.

So you are saying that he should have gone to congress for protection? Or that because he did what conservatives begged someone on the inside he was a fool for doing it because of methodology? There is one fool I see in this story Jonah. It ain’t him.

[ClearCase_guy]

We elect a president and a Congress to make that kind of decision.

And how's that working out for ya?

[Buckeye McFrog]

But my hunch is that he represents an altogether more complicated challenge

Yeah. Someone who won't salute like a good little Nazi and get with the program.

Snowden does not know what he thinks he knows. What he thinks he knows is wrong. NSA has credibility. They will crush this worm.

In a Q&A session with readers of the Guardian, Snowden strongly suggests that foreigners be granted rights under our Constitution.

Hey fat boy,I think that it is the position held by your employers at the National Review and Fox News when they subtly be pimping amnesty for the open borders and NWO crowd.

“His decision to flee to Hong Kong — a Chinese vassal — was an odd one, given that China is hardly a bulwark of transparency and civil rights.”

It’s not odd at all, when you consider that China is one of the few places in the planet where he will not be vaporized by a drone or kidnapped in the middle of the night by our government.

“Informed sources I’ve spoken with are generally aghast by what they say is the scope of information Snowden stole, material some believe he couldn’t have gotten by himself.”

Perhaps, or perhaps this innuendo that Snowden could be a foreign spy is just character assassination by those who want to distract us from Snowden’s disclosures. Do you think these “informed sources” might just happen to work in the intelligence community and hold a grievance against Snowden?

“undermining Obama’s effort to press the issue of Chinese hacking (a practice Snowden seems mysteriously indifferent to).”

Another not so subtle character assassination. Silence doesn’t imply consent. Why would anyone expect this guy who is leaking about NSA surveillance to comment on a completely unrelated matter?

Maybe you can give the executive summary as to there being anything insightful in the article and not just another townhall zero thought hatchet job that we’ve all come to know and ignore. From the title, I’m guessing there’s nothing new here.
