I take it that if something happens to Snowden, he has set up a method by which all the information he has will be released. All these secrets will be out for all the world to see. These secrets could be all our CIA operatives, their locations, secret operations, etc, etc, etc.......everything our govt does not want others to know.

I doubt those secrets are about specific operatives, that's far too low-level for what is being hinted at. It would be devastating to us in the short-term, sure, but human assets are constantly being replaced on quite a few levels.

No, I think that what is being hinted at is a lot higher-level. I would have said the Information Awareness stuff that Bush and Poindexter wanted back in 2002-2003, but it's pretty clear that we either have it already, or it wouldn't take much to put together. I think it's going to be much bigger. Now it could be Bush/Poindexter got their ways secretly and did implement the massive database on all American citizens, and that would certainly be massive, but I don't know if that rises to what's being hinted at.

What makes you think Snowden's info and "secrets" necessarily jeopardize US Security is ANY way? Because McCain said so? Carney? 0bama? Krauthammer?

If Snowden has already given the world a taste of the type of info he possesses, it indicts and discredits the .guv by name (Greenwald: "information to cause harm to the U.S. government".) The "harm" is within the realm of Snowden's area of expertise: surveillance. The "harm" exposes the degree to which the guv has been trashing the Constitutional Rights of the citizenry instead of terrorist "types."

It is clear any such "damage" is NOT to the American citizenry -- which eliminates the "jeopardized US security and intl operatives" bait the media and .guv shills hope is taken hook line and sinker.
