1. No you don't because it would not be good for Americans' self image and wouldn't sell ads

on tv, radio and print media.

2. Good reply on our record of murder and torture

Interesting how that has all been swept under the rug here at home.

3. Thank you Alex Wagner for an informative fact based report & interview

Especially in light of and in contrast to Dick Gregory's interview where Gregory asks Greenwald if a journalist such as himself should be arrested for his actions.

The part of Wagner's report that stood out was her reference to a recent editorial regarding Snowden possibly standing trial and a jury finding Snowden innocent based on the premise that Snowden could be found to be "morally justified" in his actions.

4. People say it here on DU all the time.

And Greenwald's sycophants attack them for stating the factual truth.

5. It threre a single word in that Greenwald interview that was not factual?

Please be specific.

6. You got it backwards

Again

9. So what exactly did Che do against America?

Dedicate his life to preventing Cuba from returning to being America's whorehouse and gambling playground?

12. He was a racist, terrorist mass murderer.

People who glamorize him know nothing of Che's actual crimes, and they don't care. Snowden's glamorization is taking a similar path with the stylish apathetic ignorentsia.

7. So the proper penalty for blatantly lying to Congress is that Clapper should retire?

I would have thought a prison term would be more appropriate for such a bald-faced lie on such an important issues.

8. 2 things:

1-isn't ALL court approved criminal warrants secret? I can't go to my local courthouse and find out who law enforcement has taken a warrant out on, whether it be a drug dealer or a terrorist.

2-People seek asylum here because our country pales in comparison to the human rights abuses of other countries (minus some red states).

10. No and No

1. As Keith Obermann said to Condi Rice: "Use the Google!"

http://www.ehow.com/about_5561635_public-warrant-information.html

This secret evidence and orders thing is new and very USSRish. You have a right to know the charges against you, to address them in a timely fashion and what evidence is laid against you. The Obama Admin is saying all of those rights are subject to their approval(ie: you don't have them unless they want to give them to you).

2. Human Rights abuses are rarely across the board. Picking a place to run to that doesn't regularly abuse your gender/nationality or other relevant status is usually a good idea. Also, you pick for how a gov't viewed your actions- the US is sheltering various terrorists because they hurt people we don't like. If you do that correctly, you're viewed as a hero or at least as "on their side" against the other people, and you'll be as safe as you can be.

11. Hopefully he's just caught in the crossfire between some Russian/Chechen conflict...

Don't really care at this point.
