More and more I just can’t shake the feeling that Snowden has been somebody’s very, very stupid pawn and/or employee this year. Opinions do change, but the complete 180 between his old opinions on leakers and what he’s saying now is too drastic and too fast to have me believe he arrived there on his own. Forgive me for being a theorymonger, but all this business seems very calculated to damage US international standing and the Obama admin as well.
