re: #31 lawhawk

Greenwald to Snowden before Snowden committed his crimes: Don’t worry, I’m a seasoned lawyer and I know how to obfuscate; we’ll cook this up as whistle blowing and tell the world they’re being spied upon and how mean and evil the US is and beat the drums about people’s civil rights. So, go ahead and steal everything you can get your hands on. Afterwards, we’ll have a big announcement in Hong Kong, a neutral setting, and you can escape the country and vacation in some South American country like I do as the money rolls in while we just release a few things here and there.

And Snowden believed him. That was his #1 mistake.
