And the details gathered will also show us, the USA, who is anti gov of the places we might need to invade along with who is ultra pro gov. We went from basic updateing of info to infiltration and spying. Not to mention how this can be used aginst any US citizen who might be aginst what the Gov. does. Just because someone does not agree with a Gov. doings does not make them anti gov. yet could that not be used as an excusse to arrest a person here in the USA for suspecion of a terrorist activity or what ever.

Not saying it is happening now but I can easily see it becoming that way.

If what he did was so right, so just then he wouldn't be running like a coward and face his accusers head on no matter what the outcome could be.

Kinda like the Soviet era defectors right?

The situation is different.

If what he did was so right, then why go to China, knowing full well the content of his 4 laptops would fall into Chinese hands, to go to Russia, where the same happens, and wanting to go to Cuba and/or Ecuador, where again, the contents of his laptops would be confiscated, copied and used?

I don't hear anyone bitch about that. Weird.

I actually heard some say this whole situation was misdirection feeding fake intelligence, who knows in the World of spy games.

I tend to agree with you BRAH except the Gov. is treating it kind of like the Soviet ear defections. I can't find the artical now but earlier this morning I seen one titled saying the the Gov. is fileling espionage charges aginst Snowden.

Is it now? How so?

Well, this just in: USAF F-16 fighters forced Bolivian President Evo Morales' aircraft to land in Austria due to suspicions that Snowden was aboard.

IMHO, the USA now has nothing to complain about if some country orders Air Force One to land somewhere for whatever reason.

That stupid ass in the White Hut just made the world a more dangerous place with this idiotic obsession.

Of course, this desperate act also demonstrates that Snowden isn't the low-level flake the Obaminions are saying he is. You don't threaten world diplomacy over someone who 'really isn't all that important'.

The AP story with its notable lack of detail doesn't mention how the place was forced down:

The plane was rerouted because France and Portugal refused to let it cross their airspace. I don't see anything about USAF F-16 fighters forcing it to land.

[Thanos]

FOX sez otherwise. No report of the plane being forced down by fighter jets but landing in Vienna after being refused permission to enter French and Portuguese airspace.

The traitor has no where to run to, unless he packs it all in and ends up living the rest of his miserable life in some rat hole like Bolivia or Venezuela. Odds are that he's not all that bright, and that he was merely craving attention or was badly mislead by Julian Assange, just like Bradley Manning was. That Ecuador's leftist president is now saying that it was a bad mistake for them to give Assange refuge from the rape charges waiting for him in Sweden speaks volumes to the characters of these whistleblowers and leakers.

USA Today is saying that the airplane was "forced" to land. It was not merely 'diverted' or 'rerouted'.

Guess how countries 'force' aircraft to land?

I agree, this was a really dumbass thing to do. Better hope a serious unpopular
President never gets in, someone might like this precedent.

Funny, you would think Snowden hitching a ride with Evo would be a natural;
guess they are thinking twice too.

By not letting them fly over your airspace.

Nope, other sources also say that Morales' request to return to Russia was denied and that the plane was forced to land and submit to a search. Bolivia is expected to file a complaint with the UN today and they're also filing charges in The Hague against a number of parties for air piracy.

[raydan]

Get back to me when you have proof. Until then, it's a conspiracy theory.

[Thanos]

Bolivian's story falling apart. France, Spain, Portugal, and Italy all deny that they blocked the presidential plane from entering their airspace. Like everything thus far with the Snowden saga, as well as anything to do with Wikileaks, it's all turning into another big con.
