Snowden's Dad: If Edward Would Have Stayed In the USA: "He would have been buried under the capital"

68. You were the one who said

what is the likelihood that the information about all this would have become public?

My response was "Why does it need to become public?" He's not talking about general issues, he's making specific accusations about specific programs, and not providing much proof save his say-so and Greenwald's eager cheerleading from the sidelines.

Every piece of classified material Snowden throws to the wind gets him in more hot water. He's the master of his fate on that score--he's digging his own hole. We pretty much have to assume that everything he has on him is now property of the PRC and Pootie's gang.

He could have gone to his pal Rand, but he decided to go to China and Russia, those bastions of liberty, to make his point.

He's a big boy--he knows what he's getting into; and he keeps wielding that shovel, putting some welly in it, like it's gonna get better if he runs his mouth more and more. He might want to buckle down and work on his Russian language skills, I think he's gonna be there for awhile.
