I'm mighty relieved to know that Snowden is full of shit

and knows zip.

Given our government's extraordinary global bridge-burning actions to stop him:

Pres Morales: "NO You can NOT inspect my aircraft!" Emergency UNASUR meeting. Hague Tribunal?

I tremble to think what they'd do if he did actually know something!

2. If they hurt, kill, or disappear him, it will confirm his warnings and turn even more

 

against the surveillance state. Same as if they lock him up for three years in solitary without a trial, as they did to PFC Manning.

4. Um, can we at least wait until tomorrow to see what really happened?

No one knows yet. Not even Evo Morales, but he's willing to state it's about an attempt to murder him or tarnish his image.

Pretty over the top stuff when there's very little information about the source of the rumor or reason that this happened.

13. It's pretty funny, yesterday Pres. Correa was all buddy, buddy with Joe Biden

and said that Snowden was a spy he didn't particularly care to meet.

So it looked like Latin America was okay with the USA, even Maduro was reported to have second thoughts about any asylum offers.

But Europe was on our azz about the leaks and this and that. Now we see they are maybe a little too attentive of any US requests.

I'm starting to think this has been a game played by Putin to see how strong the alliances are, to have some fun.

If it wasn't for Treyvon it would be the top story, they need more footage though, a few more interviews

42. Exactly!

Nailed It.

On Edit:
But you got to have some compassion.
They've been up night & day for over a week,
hovering over their keyboards,
frantically and desperately attacking any thread that could conceivably be seen as anti-government spying, or critical of the Obama Administration.
So lapses in judgement and thinking skills should be expected at this point.

I actually saw one reduced to "I know you are but what am I?" a few days ago.
Desperation sucks, especially when you got NOTHING left.
Sad really,
but it is like a Circus Freak Show.
I KNOW I shouldn't watch,
but I HAVE to see it.

Sad to see the official USA reaction to an irrelevant peon (Snowden).

...that George W. Bush traveled to Africa under the Obama (we don't look back to the past) Administration's protection and so therefore won't have to worry about having his plane boarded, or diverted, nor denied access through anyone's airspace because...... well, because we're the fucking USA!!! USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!

- We don't follow the rules, we just make 'em for everybody else......

40. Desperation bordering on madness right now

I think what scares the pants off of them is that there's not only more, but worse, to come and it's going to keep coming regardless of what happens to Snowden, or even Greenwald.

"That capability at any time could be turned around on the American people, and no American would have any privacy left, such is the capability to monitor everything: telephone conversations, telegrams, it doesn't matter. There would be no place to hide."

"I don't want to see this country ever go across the bridge. I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America, and we must see to it that this agency and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision, so that we never cross over that abyss. That is the abyss from which there is no return."

Senator Frank Church on the NSA specifically


[center]

Asked what Edward Snowden should expect to happen to him, William Binney, answered, "first tortured, then maybe even rendered and tortured and then incarcerated and then tried and incarcerated or even executed." Interesting that this is what a whistleblower, former Senior level Director at NSA, thinks the U.S. government will do to a citizen.
