.....blah blah Snowden...blah blah blah Snowden blah blah Greenwald...blah blah.....Snowden.......

Here's a thought. Maybe it is not Snowden begging for attention...maybe reporters, film makers, etc...approach him for stories BECAUSE HE AND HIS ACTIONS IS A NEWS STORY. And maybe, he accepts those invitations BECAUSE HE WELCOMES OPPORTUNITIES TO KEEP THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE IN THE NEWS. And maybe the only people making it more than that, and obsess about the man or men surrounding the story, calling them juvenile names and spending their time trying to dig up any tiny inconsistency or personal flaw, are those that are too authoritarian or frightened to want to contemplate the actual meat of the story. Because that is the only conclusion I can come to.
