Skyrad 0 #2 June 23, 2013 After much thought on the matter I believe that Snowden is a hypocrite and should stand trial. He apparently valued the law so much that he felt that he had to go public but now he has done so he is also doing everything to evade the law.On top of which he runs to HK and China to evade the law a nation which is known for doing exactly what the NSA did with TOM SKYPE. Now he is off to Russia where SCORM-2 is in operation. As for Prism and other similar programmes, is it right that Google knows more than the Government? No and if they withheld information that could stop criminals from taking the lives of countless people then that is a good thing. if people are stupid enough to write things on the internet and believe that its private then bigger fool them. Bring Snowden back and supermax his arse.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

He is gonna live the rest of his life happy on ecuador eating ceviche and drinking cold ones. Let America diplomacy and government cry.

He knows they don't support the principles of civil liberties, but is taking advantage of their desire to thumb their noses at the US govt. According to a couple of Chinese news outlets (via Google News), Snowden, having been released by HK probably with the acquiescence (and possibly at the behest) of - China, plans to transit to - Moscow; thence to - Cuba; thence to - Venezuela. You don't suppose any of them wish to say "Fuck you" to the US, do you? Word is, the Iranians wanted him to stop over in Tehran, too, but the team said "Nah, too obvious".

FastRodriguez 0 #10 June 23, 2013 With all due respect. You dont know what I know or what I think. I dont have any special interest in anyone showing their thumb to the Us government. I do believe its extremely hypocritical to accuse him of being a spy. When he was working for NSA, or CIA or whichever super-spy-freedom-letssavetheworld-agency he was working for, violating people´s right to privacy was not a problem. Americans have the right to intercept and file everyone´s privacy but the rest of the world dont have the right to know what you guys do? Im sorry, It is not fair. I dislike terrorism as much as you do, but I dont think your government has the right to disrupt my privacy, or anybodies else. Remember, The right to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose begins. Good day to you"I don´t stop when I am tired.

Andy9o8 2 #17 June 23, 2013 He's pretty young, and basically just a professional nerd. I don't think there was a lot of deeper thought on his part put into the planning, prior to engaging capable counsel in HK. And should be interesting to see if he lands where "announced"; feint and diversion are the oldest tricks in the book. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerryBaumchen 1,362 #23 June 23, 2013 Hi Fast, QuoteThey have ZERO right to police the world and act the way they do. I agree. I have always been opposed to the Patriot Act. It reminds me of the days of J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI spying on people with no right to do so. The 'right' was only in Hoover's mind. I know & accept that the CIA probably does/has done some rather nasty stuff. If the feds want to see what emails I send, let them get a warrant.

quade 4 #25 June 23, 2013 He's 30. He has a Masters from the University of Liverpool. He's a gamer, so he understands planning in advance and strategy. He was an IT Technician for the CIA.
