In reply to the discussion: Snowden: US would have buried NSA red flags [View all]brush
(53,764 posts)I wrote that in my original response to the post. I just don't like the fleeing part. And the bad taste in people's mouth's (even his biggest supporters have it too even if they won't admit it) and the doubt in people's mind that the fleeing to Russia no less was maybe something more than for safety.
How come if Greenwald could arrange all of that, why didn't he arrange to get Snowden the best fucking lawyer in the country he could find and the best bodyguards too while he was at so Snowden could stay here and fight and be even more effective as a whistle blower instead of fucking defecting. Makes one wonder is Snowden an agent or something?
I don't know, doesn't seem quite heroic.
What it seems like is Greenwald used him and parlayed the whole Snowden affair into a stepping stone to starting his own media company. And he sure isn't hiding out in Russia. He's issuing press releases about his big, new venture.
