To any American this guy should be obvious, a spy and traitor. If he felt he was doing something good for Americans, he wouldn't have fled to china and Russia, not exactly places where human liberties are practiced. Quoting: Brother Love Then Putin says "he must stop leaking us secrets" to gain asylum. AKA, I know everything he knows, and I don't want anyone else to know. Guys, he's not a "freedom fighter" he's a self serving spy, and self promoter. He's no different than David dIcke, Jesse Ventura, or the fat man not allowed on GLP. He don't wanna help you or your rights, he wants to help himself, and gain fame, that's it. He freaked out and saw a way to become an overnight celebrity, and he got a chance to brag about everything he knows, that's it. Did Snowden ever do a single thing to help out civil rights before he "blew this whistle"? I really doubt it. ^^^this..in so many ways. Seriously people...Snowdon himself said he could "hack" anyone, including the president, all he needed was an email address. So we are to believe his evil overlords couldn't do the same to hack and track him &his laptops of info??? And the all seeing all knowing NSA didn't get a little suspicious for his phoney medical reasons for going to CHINA??? I'm sorry but this is all bs. This guy worked for both the CIA and then NSA...his name certainly was logged on some watch list when he booked his ticket. The NSA knows what you ordered from Applebees last night and how you like your burgers well done...but they couldn't see nor stop this guy from using a thumb drive to steal allll their secrets and running off to communist China?? Yeah THAT makes sense! |

Yeah THAT makes sense! We know he didn't have the job and he got his job in order to steal secrets. That's not whistleblowing. It would be more like a thief enters the house of a known drug dealer, steals the money,takes some of the drugs, sells the drugs to the drug dealer's rival and then calls the police about the drugs he found. |

The only thing that he released was what the government is doing to the American people. Espionage means you are giving secrets or classified material to the enemy, unless you view the American people as the enemy? You have no idea if he has given anything to Putin. He claims to be a patriot and there is no information that suggests otherwise so why are you making a bad assumption without any sort of support? How do you feel about the government spying and watching your every move? Are you truly okay with it? The fact that they have programs which can predict your every move (with the use of super-computers and now quantum computers) based on the information that they have collected? And what would that type of power lead to in a world lead by corruption and greed? I for one am not okay with it. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 25344142 United States07/02/2013 01:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Edward Snowden’s Full Statement: Quoting: PIR “One week ago I left Hong Kong after it became clear that my freedom and safety were under threat for revealing the truth. My continued liberty has been owed to the efforts of friends new and old, family, and others who I have never met and probably never will. I trusted them with my life and they returned that trust with a faith in me for which I will always be thankful. “On Thursday, President Obama declared before the world that he would not permit any diplomatic “wheeling and dealing” over my case. Yet now it is being reported that after promising not to do so, the President ordered his Vice President to pressure the leaders of nations from which I have requested protection to deny my asylum petitions. “This kind of deception from a world leader is not justice, and neither is the extralegal penalty of exile. These are the old, bad tools of political aggression. Their purpose is to frighten, not me, but those who would come after me. “For decades the United States of America has been one of the strongest defenders of the human right to seek asylum. Sadly, this right, laid out and voted for by the U.S. in Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is now being rejected by the current government of my country. The Obama administration has now adopted the strategy of using citizenship as a weapon. Although I am convicted of nothing, it has unilaterally revoked my passport, leaving me a stateless person. Without any judicial order, the administration now seeks to stop me exercising a basic right. A right that belongs to everybody. The right to seek asylum. “In the end the Obama administration is not afraid of whistleblowers like me, Bradley Manning or Thomas Drake. We are stateless, imprisoned, or powerless. No, the Obama administration is afraid of you. It is afraid of an informed, angry public demanding the constitutional government it was promised — and it should be. “I am unbowed in my convictions and impressed at the efforts taken by so many.” Edward Joseph Snowden For the last time the.government isn't in control its the wrappers/singers. they are evil. |
