The 13 Most Bizarre Things from Edward Snowden’s NBC News Interview

[sofa king]

46. We did know, Tsiyu.

We knew it right here. Prosense in particular may be too modest to mention it, but he also spotted Greenwald's recycling of old news:

Here's DU knowing it ten years ago:

This is the point we're trying to make. We knew all of this shit years ago. Then this guy Snowden runs off to Hong Kong about a week after Hillary Clinton mentioned Tienanmen Square, meets with Greenwald, and produces what's basically a re-hash of the reporting that was noted and routinely commented upon right here at DU for ten fucking years. What's most remarkable about it is virtually nothing publicly reported is new.

But Snowden knew a shitload of important things, and spent months in China apparently telling them all about it, exactly as a spy would do.

The important thing here is that this story is going to have a mule-kick of a back end, when it's eventually revealed (probably through Bush stay-behind leakers) that Snowden is, in fact, a spy who played out a Chinese propaganda operation, and then everyone who put their dicks on the block for him--the so-called "liberal" press and many of us here--is gonna get chopped.

I don't want to see that happen to my more emotional but less discerning friends here. This is my major concern.
