"Actually, at this point it's just gloating on my part.

Tis' amusing to see the amount of energy you spend on trying to prevent an avalanche that is already tumbling down the mountain. "

...our children learning?

"Nope, I'm about the issue. Certainly, I feel that Greenwald and Snowden did an important service but I am hardly worried about needing someone completely flawless to front my cause. "

"Gloating": "I'm about the issue," but Greenwald and Snowden are heroes!!!

Speaking of "flawless," that was some escape, huh?

But Snowden knows his presence here is easy ammunition for critics. He did not choose refuge in Moscow as a final destination. He said that once the U.S. government voided his passport as he tried to change planes en route to Latin America, he had no other choice.

It would be odd if Russian authorities did not keep an eye on him, but no retinue accompanied Snowden and his visitor saw no one else nearby. Snowden neither tried to communicate furtively nor asked that his visitor do so. He has had continuous Internet access and has talked to his attorneys and to journalists daily, from his first day in the transit lounge at Sheremetyevo airport.

“There is no evidence at all for the claim that I have loyalties to Russia or China or any country other than the United States,” he said. “I have no relationship with the Russian government. I have not entered into any agreements with them.”
