The Pursuit of Edward Snowden: Washington in a Rage, Striving to Run the World

[Ford_Prefect]

15. The Sturm und Drang over Snowden's dissapearing act may be as much smoke and mirrors.

Notice how little is being said about anything else? How much press is chasing Snowden one way or another, and how little is being said about escalating the arms race inside Syria, or cutting food stamps, or Fracking regulation?

For all we know they don't really want him back that soon. It seems to me they spent 10 years waiting to get Bin Laden when it was convenient to do so. If he actually does get to Ecuador what is to stop them from grabbing or killing him there, or maybe subcontracting it to one of their pet drug lords when it suits them.

Of course it looks like great Cat & Mouse drama as played in the press. Wonder how the gang at Booz Allen, HBGary et al feel now? They've been well paid to look the other way so it should come natural to them.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

(Lewis Carroll)
