re: #237 Backwoods_Sleuth

Still getting ppl claiming that Snowden’s smart for outsmarting the US by sitting in in-transit in Moscow for a month.

This isn’t over, and Snowden may still see justice meted out in US courts.

After all, Whitey Bulger avoided the authorities for decades. Was that smart? He’s going to spend the rest of his life in prison. Not so smart.

Snowden had a half-assed escape plan, and he’s scrambling to find alternatives (which involve working with the Russians who are no friends of civil or human rights, and whose interest in free speech is limited to finding out all it can about American national security secrets).

Clever? Perhaps. But not smart.
