I don't think Mr. Snowden wrote that statement and I think it was Assange or someone from wilileaks, followed by Mr. Greenwald on fake news. It appears that Mr. Snowden is being manipulated and the initial party who got him to steal the information is directly from this country.

And I think that Ecuador is getting tired of Assange.

Well, since the US "unilaterally" issued it in the first place, I'm not sure what he's talking about Tarheel_Dem Jul 2013 #2

If they had wanted to, I wonder how they would have done it bilaterally? Squinch Jul 2013 #28

What was your position on Daniel Ellsberg? former9thward Jul 2013 #30

Ellsberg did not take 7-8 laptops full of classified information to the Chinese and Russians. stevenleser Jul 2013 #47

What about al-Qaeda ? Seems if he is thorough he'd give it to them too. AlinPA Jul 2013 #53

I wouldn't put it past him. When he is back in the US and on the stand, it will be interesting stevenleser Jul 2013 #62

There is no evidence that Snowden gave anything to the Chinese or Russians. former9thward Jul 2013 #63

LOL, that's what you are going with? Really? stevenleser Jul 2013 #68

wait, wasn't it just 7-8 laptops? frylock Jul 2013 #74

Because being a traitor with 4 laptops vs 7 laptops of classified info is such a big difference? stevenleser Jul 2013 #93

why not make it 400 laptops? frylock Jul 2013 #96

Turning over 4, 7, or 400 laptops full of classified info to the Russians and Chinese makes no diff stevenleser Jul 2013 #98

Now its up to 400 former9thward Jul 2013 #100

you know that they didn't have laptops back then? frylock Jul 2013 #73
