6. I would find it hard to believe a U.S. agency would oversee destruction

of a news organization's records, and even with the corporatization of news, hard to believe such an order would be complied with. GB seems to have a more authoritarian society, however.

I don't know if anyone on DU who would do in Snowden, but I'm sure there are plans in the works to "disappear" him in some fashion, not that it would do any good. Release of info would just be orchestrated by others.

Actually, it's been orchestrated by others for some months now. randome Feb 2014 #7

Just stating what I read before. randome Feb 2014 #10

Seeing as you posted on BOTH previous threads where this was debunked, you do know riderinthestorm Feb 2014 #11

No, accurate. Savannahmann Feb 2014 #8
