I am not going to do the 10 minutes of hate on this guy. This issue is the NSA and not him.

The only difference between Snowden and Obama and his cronies is Snowden aided American citizens with the truth and Obama constantly aids al Qaeda with weapons, money, and policy.

Well he is definitely working on the darker side of grey when he goes to Hong Kong and then starts spouting off about us trying to hack the Chinese. I hope we are hacking the Chinese, but that isn’t a secret that harms Americans so why did he divulge that? The answer is to make himself more attractive to the Chinese who may now allow him to stay in Hong Kong.

I think some may think it’s special pleading to condemn Ellsburg and Manning, but not Snowden. Something tells me that fallacy doesn’t apply but it won’t come to me.
Maybe it is special pleading. Keep in mind the anti-Snowden are being consistent while the left is just sore ‘cause its ox is getting gored.
Like all of us. Awkward, like learning from your sister she liked Derek and the Dominoes too.

Snowden running into the open arms of the Chicoms makes him a scumbag to me.
To: windsorknot
Once I learned that he was an obama supporter, he became a scumbag to me.

A lot of people did. Unfortunately, I was not one of those people.

Could it be that he is still working for the CIA.
He did not get hired by Booz Allan without
a Top Secret Compartmented clearance.
He would have gained the SCI at the CIA.
What were the facts of his leaving the CIA ? This is not what it seems.
He is still working for the CIA,
on a mission to bring down BO

"I hope we are hacking the Chinese, but that isnt a secret that harms Americans so why did he divulge that? The answer is to make himself more attractive to the Chinese who may now allow him to stay in Hong Kong."
Agreed on security and offensive measures for us. He was a systems administrator. And he doesn't know anything about those kinds of servers, that the Chinese crackers don't know. Knowledge regarding those servers is about even from nation to nation, worldwide.
I did *not* do any work maintaining servers for our government, but I've played with all kinds of low level work on my own over the years using some of the most secure servers. A couple of the BSD systems with open security development have been the best on the planet (and may still be, with modifications). OpenBSD received much official attention in those circles a few years ago (including contracts--public news, see "Theo de Raadt").

Go to BING,Enter,Curt Weldon,Data Mining. Read the articles and learn about the Data Mining that was Began in 1999,that if listened to would have prevented 9/11. Only Problem there was Bill Clinton was President,Janet Reno was Attorney General,Jamie Gorelick was asst. attorney General.
Ammazing information,Remeber Abel Danger,this info is amazing!
To: Oldpuppymax
A more important question was why did he have access to this info in the first place?
Seems like another system breakdown, and after Manning too.
