Snowden; Traitor or Hero?

I see Russia have granted him asylum.

So is he a traitor and a cunt or a hero and a gent?

Some fella I used to work with who moved to the USA (USA USA) a couple of years ago is constantly on Facebook deriding him as a traitor and spy. FFS.

For this pic alone I reckon she should be branded a hero.

A sound skin.

Traitor

More importantly, as the Onion pointed out a couple of weeks ago, we really need another photo of him. That one that is used in every news story about him is really starting to annoy me.

What a stupid cunt.

Whistleblowers are to be applauded.

The only criminal whistleblower in the news lately is Chris Pollock.

Disappointing to see an esteemed poster such as Julio, not alone starting a thread, but even a poll on this shit.
It’s a bit like NCC starting a thread/poll on washing machines.

Who gives a fuck !!!

Neither. He is however the most boring news story this year and Braz’s point about the one photo that seems to exist of him is also annoying me.

He has applied for asylum in Ireland it seems,amongst 20 other countries also.

He is just the type of innovative and honest person we need to run our social welfare system. Sign him up.

There’s no way we will risk the wrath of our overlords by granting him asylum.

I laughed at this when I heard it this morning-the boy hasn’t researched too well which countries to apply for asylum in.

Snowdens latest leak is quiet stunning, that the NSA and GCHQ hacked into the systems of the one of the worlds largest producers of SIM cards and stole their encryption keys to allow them analyze any mobile phone communications they wanted.

Did not surprise me in the least.

The interesting part was the discussion on accessing the calls qs it was reckoned that having their own aerial system on masts to pick up.the calls would be the most efficient. Just how many masts is that in an infrastructure?

John Oliver spent 30 minutes eviscerating the US Govt and the Patriot Act, its well worth the time, especially when he goes to Russia
