Wikileaks founder says Snowden info will keep getting published

I applaud Reuters for not referring to this guy as a “leaker”. If he reported illegal activity, classified or not, he is a whistleblower.

And I don’t get why ex-FBI agent Tim Clemente can say in an interview that the FBI has access to recorded calls (but can’t use them in court), and nobody is destroying his life.

Tubs , Towels and water will be ready, don’t be afraid of a little bath, Snowden.

If a republican admin had been in place mr. snoden would probably be dead now. Unfortunately with another weak democrat admin in place nothing will happen. Putin and the Chinese leader and really all other world leaders know this.

The offer to Edward Snowden that he should return to the United States so he can be imprisoned for life in solitary confinement is not going to convince him he should. The Government wants to punish him because he has revealed that we wiretap both our friends and foes. A revelation that has lost us friends (if we actually had any) and gotten us more foes. But thats what happens when your friends find out your really a RAT.

Absolutely horrifying that Snowden is forced into hiding while the real criminals — the politicians and bureaucrats who are systematically gutting the US Constitution — remain in power.

It’s time for the ignorant masses to wake up.

The NSA can spy on the American people, the president can infringe on the constitution, the IRS can target political opponents, the American people can live under laws riddled with religious moral rules, a president can lie under oath, laws against personal freedom are normal and many other major wrongs; but, a computer nerd risks his very freedom and/or life coming out with the statement that the government is not following the constitution is followed to the ends of the earth and seems to be such an embarrassment to the government that they pull all the strings with important countries to capture and shut up this guy, whose only reason for doing what he is doing is because he seems to be a patriot and not out for personal gain.

What has he said so far? Has he provided any information that will directly hurt the country except that they are over the line in a country that is supposed to be free?

Dick Cheney and John Boehner both Republicans
have called Snowdon a traitor, and you can bet
he has turned all he knows over to first China
and Russia. Good enough for me. Your lies
won’t change that.

I am truly ashamed at how the US has handled their internal NSA blunders and 4th amendment violations. If we ever hope to save face and regain the trust of America and the rest of the world in this mess, we need to own up to the illegal NSA activity, hold those responsible accountable, apologize to other governments that we have deceived and trying to bury the messenger.

Why can’t we take this opportunity to set an example of leadership and come clean!!! Yes we got caught with our pants down and in the act! OWN IT! THE PROBLEM IS NOT GOING AWAY !

By pointing fingers in every direction but our own we simply embarrass ourselves more. Congress appears to be a highly paid assembly of clueless Bafoons unaware of their oversight responsibility and the NSA activities occurring on their watch. SSCARRYY!! Further, once their lack of oversight was exposed our elected officials should have been outraged–but were not! Even more scarry!

I am alarmed that our Vice President is strong arming the Ecuadorian government to prohibit Snowden’s asylum. I am alarmed that our government has the ability to yank the passport of one of its citizens without any legal proceedings, conviction, or precedent. This situation should be a RED FLAG affair for every American and really concern American citizens. Our legal system is based on the premise that an accused person is innocent until proven guilty. If our legal system truly is a fair legal system, why is the government so willing to supersede its process? As far as I can tell thus far, the only law that Snowden has broken is a civil law between employer and employee–stealing inside secrets. If he had stolen secrets exposing that a company he was working for had defrauded the Government he would be a whistle-blower and a hero! The only difference in this scenario is that he blew the whistle on the government!

Lastly, I am very concerned that congress is not charging Clapper with lying to a congressional committee. Why is that?

I am concerned that the propaganda released by our government has labeled Snowden a traitor and lodged a media campaign against him without due process of law. Is this not the same type of civil rights violations that we accuse and police other nations of? Why is that?

I am ashamed that our government is prosecuting Bradley for blowing the whistle on the government he idealistically assumed he was serving to protect. Why is that?

Really ashamed and fearful of the US-KGB at this point!

Snowden had a really good job earning 200K a year, living the sweet life in Hawaii! He had a beautiful fiance, home, cars, and was living the dream. He sacrificed it all for the life he now leads because he felt so strongly that Americans needed to know what the US Government was really up to. I feel very few of us have that level of commitment to right and wrong. Think about it. Most of us would look the other way. He has no personal gain and has lost everything. Every American should really take a look at what this young man has given up to expose US corruption, illegal NSA activity, constitutional infringement, and grossly overbearing acts of crossing the line into Gestapo type activity.

Think about it. I presume that less than one half of one percent of the population in the US would have this type of moral compass and moxie to leave it all behind for their beliefs-me included. Snowden is a very brave man.

Fix – “he fled [to] Moscow”

Snowden is an American hero of the highest order, as it stands to date. Hopefully our senators will repeal the Patriot Act and indict every one of the establishment who lied under oath. None of this would have been possible without Snowden. I hope the network that holds the documents trickles them out for years, and continues to catch more politicians in outright lies and doltish confabulations to the public about how we are not being spied on, and how much they know about the NSA deep actions – and show them for what they are, deceitful, harmful, incompetent, and ultimately themselves traitors to the American people.

First, America vs Snowden. Then, America vs Hong Kong. Then, America vs. Hong Kong and China. Then America vs HK, China, and Wikileaks. Then America vs HK, China, Wikileaks, and Russia. Then, America vs HK, China, Wikileaks, Russia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Cuba. Now, America vs HK, China, Wikileaks, Russia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Cuba and all of EU! Great job, guys!

A democracy means rule by the people. A democracy requires an informed electorate. Secrets by a government in a democracy mean the electorate do
not know something and therefore are “uninformed” about that something.
Secrets by governments in a democracy are undemocratic and work against the ability of the electorate to make informed decisions.

Our target is a British national – Simon Ross, a reporter. I want all his phones, his BlackBerry, his apartment, his car, bank accounts, credit cards, travel patterns – I want to know what he’s going to think before he does. Every dirty little secret he has, and most of all we want the name and real-time location of his source. This is NSA priority level 4. Any questions?

Dick Cheney is responsible for ramping-up the unconstitutional domestic surveillance programs and HE is the traitor.
We really don’t know if Snowden carried with him any data at all, so you’re speculating about China and Russia data drops; he’s likely not that stupid; the four laptops make a great decoy.

figures. Now that the other nations/States figure THEY might be the target of the beast, now they would defend…something? What? Who are you going to blame, and who shall you crucify for good journalism? Oh, I forgot, you lost that line…long ago, when you decided to side with the beast! So shut up and take that which you all know you are guilty of. The great invasion. You own it.

I think “arttie” believes he’s probably more important to himself than the entire World! Who the hell do you think you are dude. Do you believe their are any values left in the free World, anymore? Maybe someone ought to hunt YOU down for doing or saying something the rest of us SHOULD know?! Get off the couch.

And Mickelenische? Man, are you applying for a job as a hit man for NSA…er what? Man, you people are insanely jealous, or just plain demented watchin WAY too much tv! Get off welfare, get a job, and breathe some life back into yourself, man!

Snowden chic: Icelandic leaders are miffed that Snowden leaks suggest the NSA never bothered spying on them…

The out-gone D.Cheney told a lie about Snowden-China collusion just as he told us about Iraq’s WMD that led to thousands of American marines sacrificed needlessly.

So Russia’s interest & Snowden’s are aligned: Continued leaks that embarrass the U.S. No need for him to go to Ecuador. He is about to learn what it means to be an asset, instead of a person.

At this juncture Snowden really has nothing more to lose by releasing new documents. He has already been found guilty by the public court in DC. He is stuck in limbo knowing chances are slim he will make it to a safe haven. He has voiced more then once he expects the worst consequences even implying death. I really don’t know if the young man has decided to now just throw a Hail Mary and let what will be, be. My concern is as an American who travels frequently how am I suppose to react over a pint with colleagues in EU now knowing of alleged abuse perceived by my country which I certainly had no hand in. This will become a dilemma for many professionals as how does one support the US regardless of Snowden now? My business dealings will become more difficult. I may not agree with what he has done. Internal US data mining was one thing, but the spread to allies has altered the balance of world opinion and Americans are the ones who will suffer and not just those in our government.

arttie – Your comment is unreal. Please get the hell out of America. To everyone else who sees him as a traitor, unless you are in corrupt Government jobs, why? You do not care that these actions have the possible consequences of making any U.S allies in the documents mad and possibly stop being allies? Oh but it’s only an issue because this guy said something right? Get a life, grow a moral sack, and realize that unless this stuff does happen, on the regular. People with more money, more company influence, more political lobbyists, will always run your consumer based lives, telling you exactly what you want to hear on the news, so you can sleep sound at night. Or.. For a brief period in human history, we can actually try to change it for the better, and remove this outrageous corruption, scandals, behind-the-curtain deals that ultimately SHOULD NOT be happening, though happen by the mass, every day, every where.

As Julian Assange speaks from the isolation of the Ecuador Embassy in London. Where he just celebrated his 1 year anniversary. Not because of any earth shaking information or revelation that has changed the world..but rather to avoid extradition to Sweden to face sexually related charges…lmao. Oh..I almost forgot..those charges are trumped up…Sweden is just a puppet of the U.S. government…Sweden would extradite him to the U.S. so we execute him…lmao!

Here’s a Reuters article from last year. It will be VERY inconvenient for many of you. The U.S. has not filed any charges against Assange nor have they asked anyone to extradited him to the U.S.

Snowden on the other hand has plenty to fear from the U.S. He IS a U.S. citizen who STOLE and gave top secret government documents of a LEGAL NSA program to foreign governments. And freely admits it. Clear violation of the Espionage Act. It’s amusing that some you think he’s just a simple “whistleblower”. This guy just ruined his life and for what? A program that dates back to the G.W. Bush Administration in response to 911, sanctioned by Congress, has been public knowledge since 2006 and who’s intent is to thwart terrorist activity and attacks against the U.S. and it’s citizens. Nice going Snowden..you caught us!!!…lmao! I hear Russia is lovely this time of year..eh Comrade?

I love the picture for this article..”Defend Freedom of Speech Protect Snowden”. Seriously? Wondering how many of you idiots think you can make a sellable case to the SCOTUS that STEALING top secret government documents of a legal NSA program and giving said documents to foreign news services and governments is protected under 1st Amendment rights?
