“Had Snowden come out when a Republican was in the White House, he would be a clear hero, whistleblower and brave patriot.”
I’m not so sure...
I am 100% sure.
The interview was heavily edited to make Snowden look good. Unless they release the entire interview it is just another piece of MSM crap.
There was only one new item in the interview. The statement that he did an internal whistle blow...that will turn out to be either true or false.
The fact that hackers..or NSA can turn on your computer or phone and use keystroke logging, camera and mic is not news. It is unlikely that the NSA or anyone would have the capacity to do that to all except targeted people. It is really just like using a radio frequency devise..you must assume that it is not secure.
Snowden didn’t need to release the huge amount of information to whistle blow. He could have gone to almost any reporter at Wapo or NYT and released only a small amount of information and gotten the word out. So..in my book he insured that our enemies got a big shot of info to destroy some of our intelligence efforts.
NBC needs to release the entire interview.
