Edward Snowden Blasts Obama in Newly Released Statement!

The big bad nsa can't fucking track everything, if they could, there wouldn't be any crime, no? Get real...

Did Snowden ever do a single thing to help out civil rights before he "blew this whistle"? I really doubt it.

You make good slave.

He who gives up freedom for safety deserves neither.

Wow. Every time he speaks you can't help but listen. This guy is good and what he says is true. My only hopes is that he's not part of some sort of inside CIA job for an objective that I yet can't see.

A man with no county = no nation to pay taxes to.

Maybe he is the luck one?

You make good slave.

just more attempts to make his espionage look righteous. 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.
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.

So how has Snowden helped himself? He is now stuck in No Man's Land with no passport and those to whom he would flee being threatened.

What you don't get about the whole thing is that the US is not longer the land " where human liberties are practiced".
This is what he was trying to expose.

Sorry you aren't a fan of Ventura. Guess that means you won't vote for him in 2016. He is the only chance we have that the US might once again become the great nation that it once was!

Right, he would be smart to stay here and get droned? You obviously do not get that our government is killing citizens.

I'm afraid that this will not end well for this young man...

Edward Snowden’s Full Statement:

“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.”
