which I suppose if you weren't around, you wouldn't know. Your opinion means very little to those who do know how reliable those sources are.

The CIA has threatened to kill Snowden, considering where this information came from, there is simply no doubt about that.

The CIA has not only NOT denied this, they have attempted to explain it by claiming the 'guys were just blowing off steam'.

There wouldn't be much point in them denying it, considering the credibility of the source.

Of course I understand your reaction, it is pretty shocking that we have sunk to this level regarding the rule of law in this country, no surprise the CIA would try to dismiss it as 'blowing off steam' or whatever.

Before you jump to conclusions about sources on this dem forum, it would be wise to know something about them. Apparently the CIA themselves, actually do.
