What makes this guy a hero? gholtron Jun 2013 #4

I think he's a hero because he had a pole dancing girlfriend, railsback Jun 2013 #11

He presented documentary evidence. usGovOwesUs3Trillion Jun 2013 #13

So you're telling me gholtron Jun 2013 #22

No. I am telling you that this is the FIRST TIME docs have been produced usGovOwesUs3Trillion Jun 2013 #29

Nope. That was the leak 7 years ago. (nt) jeff47 Jun 2013 #33

You are simply misinformed then. usGovOwesUs3Trillion Jun 2013 #34

Nope. Documents were leaked to the NY Times in 2006. jeff47 Jun 2013 #84

Please get back in your thread HangOnKids Jun 2013 #78

He presented evidence for some of his claims. jeff47 Jun 2013 #28

He presented documentation, and his own experience. usGovOwesUs3Trillion Jun 2013 #30

Why, exactly, should I trust his experience? jeff47 Jun 2013 #32

Well, he actually worked in intel for years, and produced documentation as well. usGovOwesUs3Trillion Jun 2013 #36

Again, he documented some of his claims. Not all of them. jeff47 Jun 2013 #40

So, I guess you are willing to dismiss all because of that, but other find him very credible. usGovOwesUs3Trillion Jun 2013 #44

Why the hell does he needs asylum? gholtron Jun 2013 #53

Because of political persecution, we have members of congress openly calling him a traitor. usGovOwesUs3Trillion Jun 2013 #63

He's using stolen National Secrets to wage political war. MjolnirTime Jun 2013 #16

To inform the public. Only partisans feel that way. usGovOwesUs3Trillion Jun 2013 #18

that's why he leaked the info about spying on Medvedev right as Obama met with Putin?? MjolnirTime Jun 2013 #21
