NYT editor's blog: Snowden’s Questionable New Turn

[ProSense]

4. I'll say it again,

"His story is a very strange one. Without making any judgement I just do not understand it."

...the reason Snowden is tripping all over his claims of domestic spying is because it was a distraction, the "bombshell" loaded with inaccuracies to blow up the story. It's seems clear to me that his goal was to embarrass the U.S. He seems preoccupied with spying on other countries.

Think about some of his claims:

More fundamentally, the "US Persons" protection in general is a distraction from the power and danger of this system. Suspicionless surveillance does not become okay simply because it's only victimizing 95% of the world instead of 100%. Our founders did not write that "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all US Persons are created equal."

This is also curious:

Greenwald said that some journalists’ accounts of the Snowden leaks scandal, the impression many get is that America would turn to extraordinary methods to eliminate the threat posed by Snowden if he decided to turn over to a foreign government the information at his disposal.
