The whistler blower who leaked the NSA's secrets thought about marrying his girlfriend and had previously taken her on a romantic break to Hong Kong - where he is now holed up living in fear of arrest.
Ed Snowden, 29, was deeply in love with stunning ballerina Lindsay Mills, 28, and the pair were so close that family friends thought they might have got hitched in secret.
He whisked her 8,000 miles away to Hong Kong where some thought the ceremony took place because it was a 'special place' for them.

I lived without privacy and i don’t have a photo on the internet. Isn’t that amazing. Did you realize that all the homosexual politicians in America have NO photos of themselves on the internet in an all male crowd! Now how do they do that? Somebody has an inside track with Google.com.
You are relying on a poll to know if they are po’d. I don’t rely on polls.

Let a thousand KFC’s bloom. My, how times have changed.
The irony is our objection to either pendular extent — something the Marxists and control freaks can’t deal without.
Well then just keep working toward 1984, bitching about people that don’t want to and soon you’ll be there. Because your posts pretty well show that you think we are all nuts.
So be it.
Best model thus far.
Whatever the final verdict on Snowden, his g/f is NOT GUILTY.
Your post is a red herring. Stopping a citizen on the street is not how someone volunteers, defects, or makes the connection to spy, for China or any other country. Anyone with even a passing knowledge of the history of espionage would know this. You will speak to someone in the government, or the intelligence services. This guy worked in US intelligence. Do you really think he didn’t know, or could not find out who/where to hook up with Chinese intelligence officers?
The reality, is that since 2008, at least two US citizens (neither of Chinese ethnicity) managed to spy for China. Read up on Gregg William Bergersen and Benjamin Pierce Bishop. There have been quite a few more US citizens of Chinese ethnicity arrested and convicted of spying since 2008.
In other words, your post is nonsense.
“Love those chicom spy speculations. Want to be a chicom just try it. Not so easy. Even if you live in China, first you have to find a spy recruiter. I’ve been in Beijing for 3 years, haven’t met one yet. Then you gotta explain why you should help them with espionage and that’s if you get them to admit they’re a spy in the first place. Don’t believe me come to China and try it. Just imagine approaching ordinary Chinese and say how can you help me spy for China. They will laugh at you and then ask if you need a psychiatrist. Most Chinese don’t even care about politics. They’re more interested in earning money and shopping.”
To be clear, I don’t know if he is/was spying for the Chinese. My above post is that it can’t be ruled out, especially with such a specious argument.
Apparently some think he was working for the Chicoms.
I mention these issues because I want Americans to know the real story about China. Sometimes its funny to watch expats first come to China. They are either reformists or lame James Bond wannabees. The reformists get ignored and the James Bond types are good for comedy. It’s like watching the Three Stooges pretending to act CIA. I met one guy claiming to be a spy for the State Department and working at China Daily. He would go into over-drive blasting China Daily behind-the-scenes incompetence, but one day he over-reached and mocked a Tibet article, he got into trouble because a NYTimes reporter had written the article and China Daily was going to re-publish it. He spent 2 days trying to convince his Chinese colleagues that they gotta support the Free Tibet movement. Why this guy never got fired nobody could figure out why. I could only conclude that he kept his job because he was the China Daily snitch. He would go into HR office at least once or twice a day to snitch on his Chinese and foreign colleagues. I made this discovery because the newspaper put me near the office for a few months where I could over-hear his snitching. It was unbelievable the type of expat snakes you will meet in China. It was always the Leftist foreigners who gave me the biggest headaches in the country. They want to out-Mao Mao. Most Chinese just didn’t care. It was just an ordinary bureaucratic job for them to be a reporter.
I’m not saying there’s no spying in China, but bringing to your attention than the spy network is much more complicated than what it apears to be. There are so many fake James Bond wannabees in Beijing that if these folks really are spies than I’m afraid you got the inmates running the insane asylums. Many of these clowns are washed-up alcoholics who can’t keep a secret even if you put a gun to their heads. I would nickname these folks the drunken “gossip girls.”
Even if true, none of it is relevant in this case.
It is relevant because Obama’s folks are giving hints that this guy is a Chinese spy. I’m explaining that your best spies are the ones you will never hear about. That’s just common sense.
So far, they aren't doing very well at that goal.
Does the writer have a clue what the difference is?
Kookspinach’s girlfriend looks strange, but then, she would have to be............
Yeah, it means something. It means there’s not one damn congress person or one media outlet in this country he believed he could trust. If he’d gone to congress or FOX or CNN, etc., we’d have never heard about it.
The kid was sent there. This is Obama's outreach plan to the Chicoms. A new front on the war against America.
He dumped her? She’s hot, accepted his Star Trek gifts and adopted his political ideology. Is he a pillow biter or something?
As for his leaking, he did the right thing, yes I have to defend a guy who’s hiding in Red China.
Obama and his minions are the criminals.
