Wait just a second. There were a number of DU posters that were positive that rhett o rick Jun 2013 #2

He requested the information be published prior to Xi Jinping's visit siligut Jun 2013 #8

I have no problem with suspicion. It's when people are dead sure, that bothers me. nm rhett o rick Jun 2013 #13

Agree! Katashi_itto Jun 2013 #16

Maybe he's just a fan of irony. JoeyT Jun 2013 #14

Snowden actually helped Obama Politicalboi Jun 2013 #32

Xi is his surname. tarheelsunc Jun 2013 #45

Oops. JoeyT Jun 2013 #75

And then there is the fact that Jinping's dad was a propaganda minister siligut Jun 2013 #58

The man lied on his resume. He said he "saw things" but never said what they were. randome Jun 2013 #4

I'm also suspicious perdita9 Jun 2013 #10

It can be said that he started a conversation but there were definitely better ways to do that. randome Jun 2013 #11

He's either a paid pawn of the Chinese or an unwitting stooge of the Chinese Major Nikon Jun 2013 #17

Or of the CATO Institute and their ilk. GoCubsGo Jun 2013 #38

Did the history of seizures raise your suspicion too siligut Jun 2013 #54

Greenwald didn't report that. He didn't write one article about the U.S. hacking private computers Luminous Animal Jun 2013 #79

He also lied about what he had access to and his salary Major Nikon Jun 2013 #15

My personal opinion is that he is NOT a spy for the Chinese. randome Jun 2013 #20

That charge about the salary is untrue pscot Jun 2013 #55

So where did he earn $200,000? Major Nikon Jun 2013 #64

Dell. His base salary was $160,000 but he receive regular performance bonuses. Luminous Animal Jun 2013 #80

I haven't seen that anywhere Major Nikon Jun 2013 #81

You need to get a new tune. That one is getting old. And again no one is asking you to rhett o rick Jun 2013 #19

I agree. So why do threads keep popping up about him? Like this one. randome Jun 2013 #21

It looks like new information. Disparaging him will not make the problem go away. nm rhett o rick Jun 2013 #23

He has nothing to do with the problem. randome Jun 2013 #24

its weird, he/she was actually quoting from the docs proving there was content Monkie Jun 2013 #26

For the record: 'his'. randome Jun 2013 #29

The face of desperation. randome Jun 2013 #40

the last refuge...is the posting of big pictures Monkie Jun 2013 #42

Apparently Hong Kong is the 'last refuge' for a certain ex-NSA contractor. randome Jun 2013 #47

Why would anyone say that any governmental agency does not store data? randome Jun 2013 #37

well, but were you not saying snowden could not be trusted for doing what you are doing? Monkie Jun 2013 #41

My brain hurts. randome Jun 2013 #43

your own quote shows its not metadata, seriously, i dont use the word delusional lightly Monkie Jun 2013 #52

Obama can't be trusted either pscot Jun 2013 #57

I would sooner trust Obama than a guy who apparently has lied his way through life. randome Jun 2013 #59

His first 2 years he had a pat hand pscot Jun 2013 #60

I can't argue with that. randome Jun 2013 #63

Honestly, I wasn't even aware of Clapper before now. randome Jun 2013 #68

Clapper is a lying Republican. He was given the question ahead of time. It wasnt a surprise. rhett o rick Jun 2013 #69

Hmmmm. Why, indeed? Could it BE that Obama wouldn't be filing charges on him if he had not Th1onein Jun 2013 #73
