88. Your "China Journalist" story is false

Mon Jun 15, 2015, 01:17 PM

Jun 2015

Unless that is part of your speculation?

Citizen 4 shows him meeting a Chinese diplomat, a male, at the hotel room. Mentioned he wasn't aware of a precedent that applied but told him how the process went. The diplomat said something about what way to travel, said probably a taxi to get there faster. Didn't see anything after leaving the hotel. I do know US filed an extradition claim which was "under review" than turned down said it didn't "comply with Hong Kong law".

--

Hong Kong was a British colony until it was returned to China in 1997. Under what is known as the “Basic Law” – the territory's mini-constitution – it has a well-respected and autonomous legal system based on British common law, with far stronger protections for human rights and freedom of expression than exists on the mainland.

Think he's talking about this--if it is true, he's not a whistleblower. MADem Jun 2015 #5

Incorrect. He is only a spy if he deliberately gave the info to Russia and China. Vattel Jun 2015 #22

He transferred the material, and he's never said they forced him to hand anything over. MADem Jun 2015 #28

You have an amazing ability to avoid admitting you are wrong. Vattel Jun 2015 #48

Well, that's not true. But I'm not "wrong" here, so stop mischaracterizing me. MADem Jun 2015 #50

You consistently ignore points that are made and change the subject Vattel Jun 2015 #56

No, I don't. I refuse to allow people to CHANGE the subject, and that can be frustrating, I know. MADem Jun 2015 #59

I didn't change the subject, nor did I give an interpretation of what Snowden did, Vattel Jun 2015 #65

Well, yes, you did. MADem Jun 2015 #69

True, some of my comments were about you, not Snowden. I am cool with that. Vattel Jun 2015 #82

What an interesting comment! betsuni Jun 2015 #67

Analysis: By Gordon Corera - BBC security correspondent notadmblnd Jun 2015 #77

No one is going to go on the record, at least not in the near term. MADem Jun 2015 #80

If this analysis is correct, then Snowden did not purposely do anything as to the allegation here. randys1 Jun 2015 #101

There was another article posted here last night walking back the article too notadmblnd Jun 2015 #102

"If it is true." That appears to be a huge caveat in the case of this story. Comrade Grumpy Jun 2015 #42

Well, it's an important caveat. I have no interest in falsehoods. MADem Jun 2015 #45

They tried that story before. Right Winger tried it here, was actually asked by Anderson Cooper to sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #94

Oh dear. "Dubious hack claim." And you haven't read Orwell. Is this a joke? betsuni Jun 2015 #64

The BBC report (with their biased history, no less) JonLP24 Jun 2015 #66

None of Snowden's claims address the question of who these hacking techniques are used against. randome Jun 2015 #70

Have you seen the NSA rules JonLP24 Jun 2015 #72
