Snowden doesn’t have anything the Chinese don’t already know anyway. Our contract defense industries are full of Chinese nationals and the Chinese have been making a lot of our “secret” stuff for years.

It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if the computers in the Utah data center aren’t primarily Chinese made.

Whatever.

Many here adamantly said he’s not CIA, including you.

I disagree with that, the American people, not Congress should decide his fate.

I’m not real concerned what you fascist Obama groin leeches say. You’re simply outright lying about him being CIA. He was CIA at one time but that has zero to do with this and you scumbags know it but just don’t have the manparts to admit it.

To be clear, he is ubiquitously identified as a former CIA employee

This is the post you sent me to to prove that Snowden is CIA when what you're using to claim he's CIA clearly states that he isn't.

Now wipe your chin, you have a little Obama running down it.

Thanks so much again for your effluence.

Snowden doesn’t have anything the Chinese don’t already know anyway.

His value isn't what he can give to the Chicoms in secret info. His value as his ability to leverage notoreity to make the U.S. look bad.

Yep he’s got PR value but not much else.

Leaky Leahy did more damage than this guy.

From post 12:

The revelation came after days of speculation that the source behind a series of leaks that have transfixed Washington must have been a high-level official at one of America’s spy agencies. Instead, the leaker is a relatively low-level employee of a giant government contractor, Booz Allen Hamilton, that has won billions of dollars in secret government contracts over the past decade, partly by aggressively marketing itself as the premier protector of America’s classified computer infrastructure.

Headline does not match body. Coming from the NY Times, that's hardly a surprise.

Interesting that it was so important for Big Media to make him CIA.

A serious o-hole here could have been civil about the discussion, but NO.
