In reply to the discussion: And Yet... So Many So-Called Democrats Do Not Care If Snowden Has It Correct... [View all]Justina For Justice
(94 posts)The only reason Snowden is in Russia is because the U.S. canceled his passport while he was in Hong Kong and about to travel, via Russia and Cuba, to South America.
The U.S. government loves to demonize him for being in Russia, when they made sure he couldn't fly anywhere else.
The truth of that is proved by the fact that the U.S. government had its allies bring down the air plane in which the President of Boliva was flying through Europe to Boliva, believing that Snowden was on board. It is a very good thing he wasn't.
Snowden has been offered asylum by Venezuela, Nicaragua, Bolivia and Ecuador, but he can't safely get to any of those countries.
Snowden is a very brave man who has done an incredible service to not only America but the world.
Would that any of our Democratic congress people would show similar bravery and defy the CIA's absurd classification controls and tell the American people the truth about what the CIA is doing.
