BODY-LANGUAGE EXPERT: I Would Not Trust Anything Snowden Said To NBC
2014-06-03
Before Edward Snowden's interview with NBC's Brian Williams, body-language expert Dr. Nick Morgan considered Snowden a young guy who got a hold of a bunch of classified documents and was just telling his story about exposing intrusive American surveillance.

"I came away [from the NBC interview] with a very different impression," Morgan, a top U.S. communication theorist and best-selling author, told Business Insider. "As a body-language expert, I'd say this is a disingenuous performance, which surprised me."
Details in the article.
In Morgan's opinion, Snowden's body language during the NBC interview suggests a "willed performance" by a 30-year-old under immense pressure.

#6  Again, I am agreeing with OldSpook. The FSB likely turned a scared kid.

#3  A very easy recruitment for the Russians. The regime does not want Snowden back. Snowden knows they don't want him back, and the Russians know it as well. Not defending the little monster, but Snowden has no other recourse. He's now firmly in the Russian camp. A brilliant move by the Russians.

#1  What he is hiding is that he probably initially started out to whistle blow, but the Russians got him to perform actual espionage that severely damaged the US. Basically he became and active hostile agent managed by handlers, not just a whistleblower.
