If and when Snowden makes it out of Russia, leaks may restart

If and when Snowden makes it out of Russia, and to an asylum-granting country, we should get more leaks. He is permitted to stay in Russia only as long as he doesn't try to harm the US.

We know he has much more information. Greenwald has more information that he can release, too. It's not clear whether Greenwald has held back because what he has lacks newsworthiness or if he is also waiting for Snowden to get out of Russia.

Greenwald has teased there is more big stuff, and the reactive heavy-handedness over the past few days suggests that is true.

If there has been no great revelation, which is not accurate, then downing Morales' plane strongly points to big stuff to come.

And, no, of course I don't "know" any of this. I think this is where we are, and what comes next. We can both bookmark this and come back to it. I may be wrong, time will tell (if Snowden makes it out).

nothing that Snowden has shown was anything that wasn't already well known....in fact THERE is what even YOU should have known...if as you say you "read".

And Obama is letting them get away with keeping him safe?

We should invade Russia and take back our person of interest. Russia must be laughing their asses off at the weak Obama. Eh?

How long can you big proud Americans be spit on like this without taking what is yours? What's wrong with you?
