After an eventful six months, Edward Snowden will be hoping for a quieter time ahead – but not as quiet as life in a maximum-security American jail. In Russia since fleeing Hong Kong in June, the NSA computer specialist-turned-whistleblower is living under fairly restrictive conditions. But at least he still has access to the internet – crucial to him – although the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, made it a condition of granting Snowden temporary asylum that he do nothing to embarrass the US further.
Snowden has said he no longer has the documents he leaked, having passed all of them to the journalists he met in Hong Kong in June.

Chinese Communists have them all.
Of course Obama has no rules...He may learn something from Russia.
I would be more inclined to believe Moskva may soon learn something a lot of us already know about Barky. The only thing that matters to _res__dent Stompy-Foot is himself. If his self-gratification pisses off another country, it will not even enter into his conciousness.
Everyone loves him, and the muzzies are his BFFs.(/sarc)
"Nuclear bomb? The first time I knew about it was the same time you did. I read it (had ValJar read it to him) in the newspaper. But rest assured. Those Tea Party activists and congressional republicans won't make me stop my healthcare plan!" (aside: "What? Iran? Russia? China? You're smoking something -save it for later. They love me!")
"Yes, these erroneous reports from snowden about any illegal activities will not stop healthcare reform!"
One of those two Americans is guilty of treason - and it isn’t Edward Snowden...
It seems clear that Snowden is indeed guilty of treason.
Hear, hear!
Is he by any chance serving out a life sentence somewhere?
“It seems clear that Snowden is indeed guilty of treason.”
So let us understand, you believe that ignorance is bliss? You’d rather not know that the NSA knows where you go, who you talk to, when you take a $hit, inconsequential stuff like that
“It seems clear that Snowden is indeed guilty of treason.”
Not in my book...
Not in my book either.
If you drew a jury of twelve from random freepers they would never convict Snowden of anything.
I agree.
It seems clear that George Washington is guilty of treason.
Not only does the NSA know where I go...but so does her majesty’s secret service, the Chinese secret police, the Russian cops, and some kid in a basement bedroom in Milwaukee who broke into the NSA system.
Inconsequential? Yeah, I got used to it. Heck...even my wife tracks me. Unless some guy wants to move to Alaska....dump his cellphone....and live out of some hut on cash-only, that’s the only way to avoid any tracking.
“Inconsequential? Yeah, I got used to it. Heck...even my wife tracks me. Unless some guy wants to move to Alaska....dump his cellphone....and live out of some hut on cash-only, that’s the only way to avoid any tracking.”
You’ve broken the code! There isn’t any privacy anymore! Even the damned FasTrak transponder tells the toll Nazi’s where you go! So we keep them in anti-stat bags and take them out only when we need them to pay a toll, just to pi$$ them off! I guess you could do the same thing with your cell phone, but then, no one could call you. Hey, there’s an idea. At least that would stop Suzie from credit card services (who is calling from Shanghai) to offer you a cheap mortgage or to clean your carpets!
NEAT!!! I just wrapped my phone in the anti-stat bag that my motherboard came in and watched the signal bars disappear.
Absolutely!
Barack Obama's agenda, ever since he dreamt of his horndog father, has been to cut the United States down to size.
Eddie is more American than you have hope of becoming.
You do realize that his leaks went FAR beyond discclosing what the NSA was inappropriately doing to us, into what it was appropriately doing in foreign intelligence collection, yes? Don’t get caught up in the cheer leading.
“It seems clear that the CEO of Goldman-Sachs at the time of the global meltdown is guilty of treason.”
Not that this thread is about all treason, but make your case.
