Edward Snowden: 'I Already Won'-“If I defected at all, I defected from the government to the public”

80. Not "small and irrelevant"--it's precisely the point.

I also think he needs ballistic drawers, since he always thought leakers should be shot in their 'two veg.'

So, what you're saying is that, indeed, it's "All About Ed?" The "roots and repercussions of his choice" I mean?

I'm just thinking that if Ghandi was asked the same questions back when he was fighting British Imperialism, he'd spend a little more time talking about the people affected by their circumstances, not a load of "I, I, I" and "Me, me, me." But hey, whatever.

Where he screwed up was getting in bed with the Russians in the first place. I hope they're paying him well--something a bit more than 30 pieces of silver. He's the flavor of the month right now, but it won't be long before he's past his sell-by date. As Pootie continues to surveille his own people and brutally oppress them as well, the whole "Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas" question will have to be asked.

Ed could have gone to his ideological soul mate, Rand Paul, and laid these issues all out before him. Of course, Ed would have to remain in the shadows; Rand would get all the glory, and he'd be the Paul Revere of the Senate with a Thumb Drive. No riches for Greenwald, et.al., no lucrative arrangements with Koch-associated types...just anonymity and maybe unemployment.

Darn those Cubans for not cooperating with Pootie and letting Eddie fly to the sunshine of South America! I wouldn't be surprised at all if what Raul Castro actually said was "You're quite welcome, Barack" at that memorial service for Madiba....
