62. He's more of a Forrest Gump getting his strings pulled by nefarious people...

First by his friends, and now by Putin...All his heavily coached and filtered interviews and public statements have not been able to mask the fact that he is of average intelligence at best...

Years from now the real story will probably come out about how some of Snowden's "friends" approached him and said he'd be a famous hero and manipulated him into lifting the files and going public (because he's tailor-made for the role -- right age, camera-friendly looks, clean background, and smart but not too smart)...So Snowden is the one with his bacon in the fire while his "friends" sit back in the shadows and reap the benefit of the revelations...

No better way to hold him accountable than by participating in his yearly PR circus! Democracyinkind Apr 2014 #1

Rubbish. Snowden has the NSA docs detailing what's known about Russian surveillance. BenzoDia Apr 2014 #20
Does he? Hissyspit Apr 2014 #32
Absolutely. The NSA would have intel on another country's surveillance programs. BenzoDia Apr 2014 #44
I know they do. That wasn't the question. Hissyspit Apr 2014 #48
Yes, he obviously had access to the intelligence capabilities of other countries. BenzoDia Apr 2014 #50
You said he HAS it. Hissyspit Apr 2014 #51
Why wouldn't he? He'd be a complete dope to run around the world without it. BenzoDia Apr 2014 #58
