#7  Yes, I've listened to both Congressman Pete King and the self aggrandizing, beltway talking-head LTC Tony Shaffer, who was upset Snowden didn't come to him first and attempted to subtly defame Snowden's military service. Within 4 minutes, the tail-sniffing Shaffer had already throw down his Able Danger connection. Shaffer and King are certain Snowden is a malcontent with an axe to grind which will result in the death of thousands [my exaggeration].

I agree, two wrongs don't make a right but our gummit has created this monster. I believe this fellow to be a legitimate whistleblower, not a defector. We'll see where it takes us.

#5  What do you suppose Champ and the Chinese leader are working out? Ostensibly, the meeting was about intellectual property and cybertheft. Interesting times we live in.

#4  Besoeker, he fled to Hong Kong, a wholly owned subsidiary of Red China, to get away.

Which suggests to me:

We're gonna get fucked hard by a bunch of communists. Either the ones up in Washington or the ones in Beijing. Probably both.

At the moment the Beijing Gang has an advantage in that they don't really believe in neoconfucian crap nor in Real Communism. They pay lip service at the weekly mass and they're done for the week.

They pattern their country after medieval Venice and they whip our ass at mercantilism like a rented drum.

#3   Reporting on criminal activity does NOT make one a criminal.

Besoeker, I'm afraid that this depends all too much on who gets to define the crime.

"It all depends on what the meaning of is is."

We know that this rogue regime defines anything they don't like as a crime, see Rosen.

#2  There will be a great outcry from the gummit, name calling, gnashing of teeth and calls for extradition. Heads will roll at Booze Allen and every contractor at No Such Agency will undergo Full Scope Polygraphs. My prediction....nothing will happen through the legal process. This young fellow has them by the BALLS! The next few days and weeks will be quite interesting as the gummit determines how to handle this potential information grenade. I do fear for this young fellow's life. Reporting on criminal activity does NOT make one a criminal.
