"New York Republican Rep. Peter King, chairman of the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterintelligence and Terrorism and a member of the Select Committee on Intelligence, said: "If Edward Snowden did in fact leak the NSA data as he claims, the United States government must prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law and begin extradition proceedings at the earliest date. The United States must make it clear that no country should be granting this individual asylum. This is a matter of extraordinary consequence to American intelligence."

“Well, THAT’S refreshing. HE has a girlfriend. How often do you hear THAT anymore?
I’m serious.”
Or so he claims...
The interviewer also claims he had Dick Cheney’s.book, ANGLER, by his bed (you know he is fan of Cheney)!
Makes you wonder what they’ve got on McCain.
********
McCain has his own baggage, even without anybody else having anything on him.

Okay, I’ll “bite.” I am clueless as to your implication. Please elaborate - or not.
American taxpayers fund a security state the workings of which are better known to 29-year old contractors than our elected representatives.
NSA was chartered to spy on other nations, NOT the US. The FBI is the only agency that can spy on the US:
section 2.3, ....“Collection of Information”..... included in “Executive Order 12333-United States Intelligence activities,”.......specifically limits the NSA’s collection of data to “foreign intelligence or counterintelligence” sources,.....
.....further stipulating that data collection within the United States”shall be undertaken by the FBI or, when significant foreign intelligence is sought,......BY OTHER AUTHORISED AGENCIES OF THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNNITY.......provided that no foreign intelligence collection by such agencies may be undertaken for the purpose of acquiring information concerning the domestic activities of United States persons.”
It is ILLEGAL!
However,.....’Snowden made it clear they hire out many Other agencies who do not have the regulations and laws.... and so ...there you have it!
That Snowden is a liar...
His manner was calm and relaxed but he has been understandably twitchy since he went into hiding, waiting for the knock on the hotel door. A fire alarm goes off. “That has not happened before,” he said, betraying anxiety wondering if was real, a test or a CIA ploy to get him out onto the street.
Strewn about the side of his bed are his suitcase, a plate with the remains of room-service breakfast, and a copy of Angler, the biography of former vice-president Dick Cheney.
Ever since last week’s news stories began to appear in the Guardian, Snowden has vigilantly watched TV and read the internet to see the effects of his choices. He seemed satisfied that the debate he longed to provoke was finally taking place.
He lay, propped up against pillows, watching CNN’s Wolf Blitzer ask a discussion panel about government intrusion if they had any idea who the leaker was. From 8,000 miles away, the leaker looked on impassively, not even indulging in a wry smile.
Snowden said that he admires both Ellsberg and Manning, but argues that there is one important distinction between himself and the army private, whose trial coincidentally began the week Snowden’s leaks began to make news.

And this is a true, sad state-of-affairs.
Perhaps our congressmen will be enlightened on Tuesday, when they are “summoned” before the Won.
Although any extradition proceeding could take months or even years, experts said Snowden has not put himself in a favorable position.
“The fact that he outed himself and basically said, from what I understand he has said,.... ‘I feel very comfortable with what I have done’ . . ..... that’s not going to help him in his extradition contest,”..... said Douglas McNabb, a lawyer and extradition expert.
The Justice Department said it is in the... “initial stages of an investigation”... into the unauthorized disclosure of classified information but declined to comment further.
That Snowden is a liar...

Why, say you?
There is no reference to your posted, supposed excerpts from WHAT? What is your source?
So while our government is crumbling and representatives scurrying about under all this revelation.....are any of them paying attention to:
China quietly taking steps to encircle the United States by ‘arming’ western hemisphere states,... seeking closer military,... economic,... and diplomatic ties to U.S. neighbors,.... and sailing warships into U.S. maritime zones.
This includes, Canada, Mexico, South American countries and the like.
My source is his interview..
And the fact that he THINKS he has access to a President’s & Federal judges communications...
I reserve comment on who and about Snowden....but i do not think he’s lying....he has the documentation to prove otherwise.
Certainly he’s going to lay around and watch the developements..he can hardly do otherwise where he is and the situation as it is.
But there are many questions unanswered and others that don’t necessarily fit into the equation he’s presented....none-the-less he opened the gate...and we shall see how this now plays out.
I find it very interesting he chose Hong Kong to lay low in...

At this point, my cynical self states that this is the plan. Not my plan, not the plan of my countrymen. But the plan of powers-that-be for the destruction of all that we hold dear and true. I do not know who “they” are, but I believe “they” exist.
Obviously, I cannot answer your question.
so, please share the specific comments he made to support what you assert.
The excerpts are from the article itself.
You really ought to read it...
I did! Please be specific as to that which you refer...
And I am still waiting for specifics...
Yep...I wish I knew the answer but whatever is happening now is sinister..and high stakes... more than we can possible know the details of...but those in power do without a doubt.
But is this guy “part” of the shakeup here and intentionally ment to rile the population. He is in China after all...and we know what they’re doing.
Of course there are the “They’s”.....and likely several groups throughout the World....which is why no matter how much is leaked...what the heck can populations actually do about it????
I agree with Rush:
“Obama and his administration are leading a “coup d’etat” to “take over” the United States.....a “coup” taking place to subvert what the kind of country the United States has always been.
“[It’s] not a violent coup, and not a militaristic coup, but nevertheless a takeover of a government, ..... You know it and I know it.... This is what animates us..... This is why the Tea Party exists.... This country was founded on certain concepts, principles, beliefs, and they’re under assault.
“There are people attempting to take over this country and make it something that it wasn’t founded as.....That is happening…it’s peaceful, non-violent, military isn’t involved.... but nevertheless it’s a coup.”
One...more...time.
kcvl's excerpt was a direct lift
from...The...Guardian...article.
Search "Snowden". And, if you can't find it, I'll send you a link.
But that would require a "please"...
