Bravo, Mr. Snowden !!!

60. Well, the Teabaggers ARE siding with SNOWDEN.

If the teabaggers are so stupid, could it be they're demonstrating it by backing the wrong horse, eh?

There are plenty of Obama critics here who are delighted at Snowden's tweaking of Obama's nose with his claims. What does that make them?

I think we need facts, and Snowden hasn't provided many. He's made charges and assertions, and some of his claims (particularly about his "power" as an analyst) do seem pretty ... well .... dumb. The day he can listen in on Obama with the push of a button at his Hawaii desk is the day I take off in my space suit for the ISS (I am an astronaut, I tell people that all the time....of course, my saying so doesn't make that claim true, either).

I think he needs to speak, unfettered, not through third parties, not in dribs and drabs, and in plain language, not ambiguous commentary where words change meaning. I think, in the interests of transparency, he also needs to let people know who is paying his bills and supporting him at his Hong Kong safe house--I think that's a big piece of the whole "cui bono" question.
