I missed your post, but corrected that!

Different articles, but on target.

Umm... I posted this last night.

This just hit the Drudge...he is out of jail:

What he already revealed was more than enough to start the 'cleansing' process.

The ability to coverup the truth, and the inability of the morally responsible people to finish the job, is testimony to how far we have declined.

I don't see any hope for a reversal of the totalitarian control of our lives....

Snowden did what he could...he needs to save himself next.

you are correct. the last I saw he was house arrest. now he is serving a one year sentence attached to the earlier crime. August 6, he was starting the sentence

How do you know that....and what "leader"?

Sorry Shrug. Just goofing around. I was suggesting the government is spying but I know they are not. I support the leader.

the gov that's spying on me. What the hell did your comment mean?!

Who would give up the life he had for no reason? We need answers.

Who is them???

Who's yelling for help? Me or them?

You are being paranoid Shrug. The government is not spying on us. It is all Hey---Who are you--- Help--Help (just kidding)

I don't think so......

I too am waiting for the smoking gun that proves he is something other than a whistle-blower. Until then he hasn't said anything our government hasn't already leaked or our enemies haven't already deduced...

I missed that news...do you have a link?

that guy is now out and in hiding somewhere

My post agreed...he would literally 'disappear' from our consciousness if he ever got into the government's hands.

He needs to be where he is, and speaking out.

Snowden took a major personal risk in letting us know what the NSA is doing. Staying in the country would have been suicide so I don't understand why so many are so quick to call him a coward. Also, if he risked so much just to alert us why on earth would he then give secrets to enemies. Wouldn't that have the opposite effect on his mission? I'm just not buying the traitor/treason spin.

I called this guy my hero within a minute of watching his hotel video (here in the gulch)..until it is proven that he has given US secrets away (so far it's just speculation by anyone who wants to call him a traitor) then I may change my mind. So far I don't think he's revealed anything to other countries they didn't already know. His Father, in an interview with Eric Bolling, originally said he wanted his son to come home..it sounds like he now realizes it was best he left. I, too, believe he'd be dead without any of us ever knowing anything about the NSA. (See Michael Hastings). Until proven otherwise I'm standing firm in my belief that what he did was an attempt to wake us up. Whether his attempts actually works when every Tom, Dick, and Harry in the media is calling him names and vilifying him and with so many believing whatever they're spoon fed, it remains to be seen.

I'm kind of torn with this Snowden incident. On one hand he alerted Americans that its government is looking closely at them in a variety of ways without cause, which detests me. On the other, he's possibly telling those outside our country how the NSA watches and listens to them, likely causing them to better hide information which may prove deadly to Americans in the long run.

Were I his father I'd tell him to hide as well. This government is not noble and certainly not terribly lawful. The shame of it is we'll never really know what information his man took or what he said or didn't say. Worse still, an American has defected to Russia to be more free - who'd have ever thought that would have happened.
