I would not want to be any Edward Snowden who is not

the one who revealed this stuff. It's going to get ugly for them.

As for the real Edward Snowden, I'm sure he's aware that he's going to have a tough battle ahead of him.

1. One way or the other they will make him suffer publicly.

They have to put the fear into any others that may be thinking of taking the high road.

2. No doubt. I just hope that everyone gets the word that

Edward Snowden, the NSA leaker, is currently in Hong Kong, and not in the US. There are several others with that name. How many, I do not know. The Internet is full of stupid people who won't get the right one before posting shit everywhere.

Watch. Even on DU, someone will probably point toward the wrong one.

3. He's in Hong Kong.

1st obvious question: Does he /Will he have the protection of the Chinese government?

I'm sure the NSA is scouring anything he ever touched now.

Wouldn't doubt his name came up during the Obama / Xi Jinping talks.

5. Yes. That's in the Guardian.

I'm just posting it here so people won't bother other people with the same name.

4. FEAR The Wrath of our National Security State

And their minons... though the FEAR they try to instill, fortunately, did not deter one brave American.

6. an old friend of mine is named Ed Snowden

He's a mix of Korean and White American. I don't know if that will make it better or worse for him.
