Oh we would never do that. Warren Stupidity May 2014 #37

I will always wonder why he did it that way. We needed to know about surveillance in the US... Hekate May 2014 #6

I think that might be due to his recent interview where he claims spy-training. arcane1 May 2014 #70

Curious only if you didn't have your tv tuned to NBC from ten to eleven PM eastern this evening. MADem May 2014 #104

So you think he was lying when he said his intent was to go to Cuba and South America? pnwmom May 2014 #15

That's true LittleBlue May 2014 #20

Dunno about the logic here: transfer might perhaps be to his long-term advantage struggle4progress May 2014 #133

Manning is probably doing well at Leavenworth. MADem May 2014 #135

In his defense, he didn't say he was a good spy. onenote May 2014 #63

I was hoping we had a slight reprieve from the hate Snowden posts. rhett o rick May 2014 #22

Maybe you should ask Snowden then to stop putting himself out there. pnwmom May 2014 #28

It's a distraction from important issues like Wall Street corruption, fracking, the TPP, indefinite rhett o rick May 2014 #34

Looks like you have some threads to start. ProSense May 2014 #35

There are lots and lots of such threads, but the "hate Snowden Group" wont participate. Odd that rhett o rick May 2014 #42

Why do you care what anyone else does? Go engage in the "lots of such threads" ProSense May 2014 #45

I am just curious why none of you post in threads on certain important issues. rhett o rick May 2014 #68

Here you go: pnwmom May 2014 #108

Funny that I never see you in any of those threads. Actually none of the "Group" post rhett o rick May 2014 #109
