Snowden to Seek Russian Protection From Death Threats – Lawyer

[MADem]

43. I seem to remember a CIA asset who said that leakers should be "shot in the balls."

I wonder who that asset was....and if he was working for Pootie's Spy Network even back then?

Gotta wonder if this guy is flipped--this is quite a switch from the fellah who used to talk like this:

Snowden was incensed at the New York Times, which had described secret negotiations between the United States and Israel over how best to deal with Iran's suspected nuclear program.
"Are they TRYING to start a war? Jesus christ. They're like wikileaks." Snowden wrote. "You don't put that s--- in the NEWSPAPER."
"They have a HISTORY of this s---," he continued, making liberal use of capital letters and profanity. "These are the same people who blew the whole 'we could listen to osama's cell phone' thing. The same people who screwed us on wiretapping. Over and over and over again."
He said he enjoyed "ethical reporting." But "VIOLATING NATIONAL SECURITY? no. That s--- is classified for a reason. It's not because 'oh we hope our citizens don't find out.' It's because 'this s--- won't work if iran knows what we're doing.'"

Perhaps he encountered a shirtless Russian riding a bear on his personal road to Damascus....?
