Edward Snowden - Great American Patriot or Gutless Traitor?
Re: Edward Snowden - Great American Patriot or Gutless Trait
The most popular comments on cnn and other online news are all for him.PNGMK wrote:Apart from his hilarious game of "where's Snowden" it seems the US populace is very much against him....I'm not thrilled that he now seems to be in bed with that great Aussie self grandiser Assange but Snowden seems to have done the public a service.
Most people seem to think the US govt is getting way out of control.

And what are their opinions about enemy governments?
Or don't they say?

And cod, and boiled potatoes, with white sauce on it.
And cod, boiled potatoes, white sauce, with chopped parsley over.
At $100 a plate.
If the cod was battered, and potatoes fried, you might have me sold.

YES! Decent fish and chips, I'd move tomorrow.zzm9980 wrote:JR8 wrote:Cod, and boiled potatoes, with butter.zzm9980 wrote: I'm not sure what passes for Icelandic native cuisine, but I know South American food is really damn good.

But amazingly enough, you get that in Britain and not in 'Codland' (Iceland/Norway etc)
Yes, I find it interesting that Ecuador is saying the paper work given to Snowden isn't valid, and was issued without approval from the London embassy. Oh wait, who else is staying there?PNGMK wrote:Well as I thought it seems Assange has made a mess of it all due to his ego.
The choice of Ecuador vs Iceland should be changed as follows:
Where would you rather remained holed up for months or years in diplomatic limbo:
1) A spare office of a small consulate for a banana republic in London
or
2) The 'transit zone' in the Moscow airport, no doubt bult during Soviet rule and with all of the 'charms' and 'creature comforts' facilities of that era are known for.
Back when in my early teens, I had a school project to do with some classmates. We met up at the library to borrow some books. My classmates conveniently 'forgot' to bring their library card. They kept the books.
Almost a decade away from Singapore, I returned for a short 1 week visit, within 2 days, the library association or whatever it is called sent me a letter demanding overdue book fees.
My father who I was living with before leaving had already sold the flat and I was technially 'homeless' to the authorities. But they found me.
The god king and his minions are forever watching. I assume the same of other governments.

Regardless of this guy's political views, I think he makes some valid points:
Letter to President Obama on Surveillance and Freedom

Be careful what you wish for

He's misunderstood why Pres. Obama became a constitutional expert. It's for the same reason I became an Australia taxation expert... to get around the law as expediently as possible.
