Hong Kong Eddie and his handlers are credible, probably because he knows what "spying" is actually being done.

And we're asking countries to send him back to the US. But he's not credible.

The ones who wish to trash Snowden have to pick one side or the other. If he's a liar and not credible then why is Obama so hot to get his hands on him??

Those smearing Snowden are being DELIBERATELY obtuse. It's laughable, actually.

This demonstrates the hypocrisy of our administration in allowing this program to proceed.

This surveillance is about control, not about finding terrorists or criminals. The terrorists and criminals are just the frosting on the cake.

And the feeling that, instead of protecting the bankers and the super-rich, he's really a middle-class Americans who is looking out for other middle-class Americans.

Of course, it would be so much easier if he hadn't benefit the bankers by pushing for a bankruptcy bill to prevent out-of-work college graduates and their parents from discharging student-loan debts in bankruptcy.

It might also help if he hadn't supported the Iraq War Resolution.
