Bullshit. The Russians don't "have him". Snowden is just passing through. He's already been picked up by the diplomat to one SA country or another.

And SA already knows ALL about us, up close and personal.

But you keep feeding that authoritarian grudge of yours. lol

That's right. Because conspiring with a spy to leak National Secrets is treasonous in and of itself. MjolnirTime Jun 2013 #11

I really don't think you thought this through dsc Jun 2013 #14

There was contact between Snowden and Greenwald pre-leak. MjolnirTime Jun 2013 #22
