Edward Snowden

What if.... what if indeed

Ron Paul is a bit of a kook.

If I was a bettin' man, "gas leak" = drone strike.

Now that he's dishing hacking secrets, which are probably some of the things he leaked to the Guardian and the Post and they refused to publish them, he's now officially not disclosing wrongdoing against Americans, or possible Constitutional violations, and just disclosing secrets.
Even though that's hardly a secret.

Russia today hinted that Vladimir Putin would grant political asylum to Edward Snowden, the NSA whistleblower who leaked the secret information about a classified U.S. government surveillance program.
'We will take action based on what actually happens. If we receive such a request, it will be considered,' said the Russian president's official spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
The former CIA undercover operative is on the run after checking out of his luxury Hong Kong hotel on Sunday - his whereabouts is unknown.
Refuge: Russia today hinted that Vladimir Putin would grant political asylum to whistleblower Edward Snowden who leaked the American government's monitoring of phone records and the web
The news that Putin is considering offering the 29-year-old refuge has increased pressure on President Barack Obama to act swiftly.
The president is facing an increasing domestic and international backlash as his administration struggles to contain the explosive revelations. He will come face to face with Putin at the G8 summit in Northern Ireland next week.

Well you posed the question sir. What do you say?

He'd have to have more information than we currently know about. None of the stuff he's telling us is really new. I don't particularly like it, but it's not new.
-
I heard on the radio this morning that he disappeared in Russia. Was supposed to be on a flight from Moscow to Ecuador for asylum.
-
Just read where Snowden admitted that he accepted to job TO
HAVE ACCESS TO THAT SURVEILLANCE INFORMATION.
That's premeditated, as in spying against his own country. = traitor.
Have we mentioned here, that he is a dumpocrat, and voted for Obamao ?????
Yep, Snowden is a LIB. And made a terrible, irrational, emotional decision.
A real American would have gone to a congressman that he figured was trustworthy to acton the information through the system.
But going public in a foreign country? His lib emotionalism really got the best of him.
BTW, didn't Obamao release classified information when it suited him? Toss em both in Gitmo on principle.
Too bad for snowden, that he isn't black, and doesn't look like he could be Obamao's son, eh?

Sorry, Cuba was what I heard. Anyways, I think the international community needs to step up and defend this guy. I know for a fact that Fox News and Company would be celebrating this guy had he leaked information that the Chinese wanted kept under wraps.

Uh yeah that's kind of the difference between a secret agent and a traitor.

Traitor? Whistleblower? What's the difference? There are international laws that protect people who do what he did.
-
No. He worked as a contractor with a high security clearance. He agreed to terms and went through an extensive investigation. He violated the law and knowingly so. He deserves a severe punishment.

International law has no basis in this. He violated USA law. And knowingly so. He ran and is still running. Hope they catch his ass and fry him.

And the people who leak documents from the Chinese aren't breaking Chinese law? It's against US law to break an NDA, but a guy broke that to let the world know that smoking kills people. Should those people fry too? The only difference is in where you're standing.
-
Sorry dude, you're wrong. He is a traitor and I hope they fry his ass. You don't get to pick and choose what you believe. You sign an agreement and swear to it. That is it. I guess you're too young to understand responsibility.
