Ed Snowden: Leakers “should be shot in the balls,” and "cut this Social Security bullshit"

[sabrina 1]

92. Looks like he was very smart. He knew he was being spied on, like all of us, and he created

a 'pro-the-security state' profile to deflect suspicion from himself, even if at that time he was not planning to do what he did, thankfully.

Smart guy, looks like he fooled a lot of people

I bet his interviews for the job, which were outsourced, no? will be the next thing we see, and I bet he was gung ho for all the wars etc.

But otoh, he may have, like Drake and Binney and Ellsberg actually supported all this, until he saw how dangerous what they are doing really is, what a threat to this democracy..

As Binney said 'they didn't care that they were breaking the law, they were going to do it anyhow'.

Funny how some people think that any of this is about Snowden. But for those who understand the magnitude of the problem, we can only for more Snowdens and Drakes and Binneys and Mannings. They may be jerks, scumbags, or heroes, it doesn't matter, but someone has to warn the people about the vast out-of-control surveillance state we have allowed to grow and grow to the point where it may be too late to save this democracy. But I hope not.
