re: #166 Charles Johnson

Watching Snowden’s snowjob retconning fall apart on the slightest bit of scrutiny would tend to do that.

The first question anyone with a pulse should be asking Snowden is if he sent emails indicating his willingness to blow the whistle on conduct is where’s his copy of the sent email. To whom were the emails sent, etc.

That the only email is a generic email that was sent after he was already in contact with Greenwald indicates that this yet another attempt to CYA, and that Snowden was never about engaging in whistleblowing, but about blowing up the NSA’s intel gathering means and methods by revealing programs, tactics, and sources.

The overwhelming majority of the documents revealed thus far have little to nothing to do with identifying violations of US law (that the NSA was violating FISA or was running amok as a rogue agency and putting US citizens under surveillance willy nilly, etc.) and more to do with revealing how the NSA operates in conjunction with other agencies, proposed sharing of intel, and revealing details of programs like PRISM.
