Snowden ‘Immune’ to Torture

NSA leaker Edward Snowden is boasting that he’s immune from torture and can never be broken, even by the world’s most experienced interrogators.

He made that odd claim in an equally strange e-mail exchange with former Sen. Gordon Humphrey (R-NH), The Guardian newspaper of Britain reported.

Humphrey wrote a supportive note to Snowden, thanking him for doing the “right thing in exposing what I regard as massive violation of the United States Constitution.”

The former lawmaker’s well-wishing letter came with a caveat: “Provided you have not leaked information that would put in harm’s way any intelligence agent.”

Snowden wrote back and promised that no one could steal or force secrets out of him — not even the Chinese or other torturers.

I’d bet that wasn’t actually Snowden in the “strange email exchange”.

Some people don’t know when to STFU.

It’s one thing to bluff...it’s another to brag that you have a royal flush when you really have a pair of twos.

“He risked it all for a believe and an ideal.”


And what he should have done is go the normal route of a whistle blower, remaining in the United States, taking his case to the media, and being defended here. Instead, he chose to leave the country and provide aid and support to countries like Russia where Journalists are routinely murdered.

So, delusions of grandeur it is.
