NSA Leaker Snowden Location Unknown, White House Chief Says

White House chief of staff Denis McDonough said that he doesn’t know the whereabouts of Edward Snowden. The last known location of the admitted U.S. intelligence leaker was in Hong Kong.

McDonough, in an interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” declined to say whether there are plans to prosecute Snowden, a former government contractor who shared information about the National Security Agency’s collection of telephone and Internet data with the U.K. Guardian and Washington Post (WPO) newspapers.

Speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” former Vice President Dick Cheney defended the NSA programs, which began under President George W. Bush, saying they have produced valuable intelligence in the global war on terrorism and have led to the disruption of planned attacks on the U.S.

Cheney said he was unaware of what, if anything, President Barack Obama did to alter the surveillance techniques.

I can say I'm sort of not surprised...but...I'll just betcha that they will find him quickly...given all
the public press that he just cannot resist giving to the Murdoch paper and stuff.

Again...Mr. Traitor Boy...what exactly is your answer/solution to TERRORISTS that want to kill all of us Americans
('course, you'll soon be Chinese or Russian, so you won't care), by using cells and the net to coordinate their attacks?

What's that? Crickets? Muskets and Three Cornered Tin Foil Hats maybe?

...thought so.

Maybe he is not using it at all. If not, NSA probably can't find him.

The press releases are aimed at the gullible, whom they know they can count on.
