This also creates another problem for Snowden. Last night it occurred to me that if the Russians or Chinese really wanted to fuck us over they might kill Snowden and the assumption would be the US did it. Snowden increased the chances of this happening because now the Russians (or whoever else) now has extra motivation knowing all the documents will be released if Snowden is killed. I don’t think it will happen but I don’t think Snowden thought this through very well. The Russians, who now have him, have more interest in killing him than we do.
