I listened to the video of his interview while in Hong Kong.

I read some threads that referenced his extremely lean resume regarding education and work history. Obama’s extremely lean backgound comes to mind. Per some news reports, Mr. Snowden only worked for the contractor for about 3 months.

What qualified him to attain such a sensitive position in such a security company? His security clearance level would have to be massively high for the type of data and activities he was apparently involved in.

I am beginning to wonder whether Mr. Snowden is a ‘shiny object’ offered as a distraction.

Something isn’t setting right — with these new revelations — and an administration that has a history of deflecting, distracting, demeaning, etc.

Isn’t that like cutting off your hand because you dropped an anvil on your foot?

Snowden has checked out of Hotel

Edward J. Snowden, was apparently still in Hong Kong at 12:30 p.m. Monday at the Mira Hotel on the Kowloon side of Victoria Harbor, said Monday evening that he had stayed at the hotel but checked out at that time.

Hong Kong journalists identified the room where the video was recorded as being in the W hotel in Kowloon, near a station of the city’s airport express train. They found journalists for The Guardian checking out of that hotel at lunchtime on Monday.

Lee Harvey Oswald had an extremely lean resume regarding education and work history too, didn’t he?

Something is really off about this story

If it is all on the up and up then Congress should be having a heart attack at what could be in the hands of many many people who work for contractors

Let me offer my own scientific analysis. I've seen pictures of this Snowden fellow, and he wears those little rectangular glasses, the kind that many metrosexuals wear (not that there is anything wrong with that).

I think you are right. His info really isn’t something we didn’t already know.

“Something isn’t setting right — with these new revelations — and an administration that has a history of deflecting, distracting, demeaning, etc.”

An interesting thought—set this guy up for the fall while handing over even more state secrets to the real party.

It is a possiblity that the government wanted this out. Now that they see a majority of Americans are willing to give up liberties for security, they know just how far they can go.

Translation: what impending scandal is Obama hiding this time? What are the media in America about to find out?
