Snowden ready to go back to prison

Why should anyone care what anyone thinks about his case? What matters is the evidence and the case against him. Snowden says that he tried to raise his concerns legally, and also that the "persecution" of other "whistleblowers" led him to believe he had no protection so he had no choice but to leak to a crank like Greenwald. He is completely wrong about this. Anyone who thinks any differently and supports him, we can safely ignore their opinion. Paranoia and stupidity is not a defense. And honestly, a political vote that has more to do with political philosophy over privacy vs. security than any kind of moral accounting of what Snowden actually did, and the damage he may have done, that's a *********** sad joke.

Did anyone see last week tonight in april? :p

Oliver didn’t pull any punches. “How many of those documents have you actually read?” he asked Snowden with a palpable air of skepticism. “I do understand what I turned over,” the ex-CIA systems admin mumbled.

Not good enough. “There’s a difference between understanding what’s in the documents and reading what’s in the documents… because when you’re handing over thousands of NSA documents the last thing you’d want to do is read them,” Oliver said.

He continued, “So The New York Times took a slide, didn’t redact it properly, and in the end it was possible for people to see that something was being used in Mosul on al Qaeda.”

“That is a problem,” Snowden replied.

“Well, that’s a ****up,” said Oliver.

“It is a ****up, and those things do happen in reporting. In journalism, we have to accept that some mistakes will be made. This is a fundamental concept of liberty,” Snowden said.

“Right. But you have to own that then,” grilled Oliver. “You’re giving documents with information you know could be harmful, which could get out there.”
Strangely enough, the host of HBO’s Last Week Tonight conducted arguably the toughest interview with Edward Snowden, taking him to task on the leaked NSA documents.

Snowden is stunned to near-silence, not expecting such a contentious line of questioning from the bespectacled late-night host.

I liked the top comment "You can literally pinpoint the moment when Snowdens heart breaks in half."

That's your libertarian hero friends, really, that's who you're defending.

Pretty damn hilarious. "International human rights defender" hiding under protection of country that is way worse offender than USA in this area? That blatant hypocrisy is why Snowden has zero credibility for me.

What hypocrisy, he sought political refuge, the fact that Russia for quite obvious reasons granted him such status does not mean he is endorsing or condoning Russia's terrible human rights record. It's a case of beggars can't be chosers. What would be hypocrisy is if he withheld information about Russian intelligence gathering.

Yes, let's be fair. He was quite convinced the CIA was going to have organized crime kill him, he was running for his life.

IIRC, he was passing through Russia when the United States cancelled his passport, making him unable to leave. I don't think asylum in Russia was his initial intention.
 
Yes, he was headed for ECUADOR!!! That bastion of human rights and respect for privacy with a healthy record of not spying on it's citizens or organizations. What a joke! Yes, it was Assange and his wikileaks lawyers who were orchestrating everything by that point, that's why he chose it. Even then, Ecuador changed their minds halfway through the process, it was a low-level guy at the embassy who helped him travel after being pressured in the middle of the night by Assange and co. who were concerned that Snowden was about to be whacked by the Triads. That's not made up, that's what really happened. This must have shocked Assange, the president of Ecuador not going along with his orchestration of foreign policy. Hong Kong, Ecuador, Russia. Against spying... hmmm. Bad luck some people say? I look at his political beliefs, Ron Paul, the gold standard, social security is bs and old people aren't made of glass, fighting against the government on the steps of congress if they come for the guns, I think, the guy is an idiot. That's just me.

Assange is currently begging the world to bring him a portable MRI to the embassy because he's got some pain, it's probably cancer or something, still to scared to leave the embassy. Bet you that Ecuador wishes they had put a stop to that before it started, don't you think?

Snowden's softball question to Putin that shocked even his advisors and which he admitted was a giant **** up, later, when he'd been made fun of by the entire world, that tells you everything you need to know. He is a stupid, confused, sad little man.
