re: #379 Killgore Trout

I have to wonder if Snowden could have refused Putin’s request to be a propaganda prop or if he was given an offer he couldn’t refuse.

Please. It was a condition of his amnesty in Russia.

Snowden did his part. He lobbed an obvious softball at Putin to set up the talking point, and now he’s got the byline on the obligatory spin job op-ed saying he’s not a Putin stooge.
