Snowden Charged with espionage
US charges NSA leaker Snowden with espionage
http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013...espionage?lite Smooth sailing for spying on citizens from here on out. |
he will prolly be dead in the next few years :Oh crap
|
shame, seems like a good guy.
|
And the Stockholm Syndrome minority won't take advantage of his heroic deed or Thank Him for the information he brought to stay free from tyranny...
|
You didn't see this coming?
Two weeks into this and he hasn't exposed anything illegal, but has broken dozens of laws in the process. Duh. |
even if he did reveal illegal info, he should absolutely be charged with espionage and such.
imo, it's important to separate the info he revealed from the alleged crimes he comitted. |
Ellsburg got charged with Espionage too. Didn't end up dead. Didn't end up in jail because the Feds screwed up so badly on the trial that they had to let him off.
It ain't over till it's over. just my :2 cents: . |
Every single wire tap has been a Felony.

the charges seem completely appropriate::::::::::
Snowden has been charged with three violations: theft of government property and two offenses under the espionage statutes, specifically giving national defense information to someone without a security clearance and revealing classified information about "communications intelligence". there is no law that allows people to break laws because some people think the ends justify the means. |

Vice President Dick Cheney, according to a still-highly confidential FBI report, admitted to federal investigators that he rewrote talking points for the press in July 2003 that made it much more likely that the role of then-covert CIA-officer Valerie Plame in sending her husband on a CIA-sponsored mission to Africa would come to light. Cheney conceded during his interview with federal investigators that in drawing attention to Plame's role in arranging her husband's Africa trip reporters might also unmask her role as CIA officer. http://murraywaas.crooksandliars.com...cutor-and-fbi/ |

On July 14, 2003, Washington Post journalist Robert Novak, using information obtained from Richard Armitage at the US State Department, effectively ended Valerie Plame's career with the CIA (from which she later resigned in December 2005) by revealing in his column her identity as a CIA operative. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valerie...22Plamegate.22 |
Oh, if Waas said it, it must be true. Sorry. The courts were wrong again
|
I doubt he will get any prison time at all what he did was the right thing, some one had to tell the rest of the world the wrong doings of the US gov..

What a mess this is becoming. :Oh crap
How can Snowden be charged with being a spy, when that was his employment title for the US government? It can't be espionage and treason one minute and 'security' the next! With Snowden admitting today in the Guardian that Chinese mobile phone companies are hacked, and that the British also gain access, does that mean all those involved in these two countries can have extradition notices served on them by the Chinese, for being spies, that Cameron and Obama are ordered to hop on a plane to Beijing and explain themselves? At best, it will take years to come to fruition, the extradition of Snowden to America, or he'll catch a train to China and stick his two fingers up to America. At worst it could bankrupt some of America's biggest technology companies, Facebook, MySpace, Apple, Yahoo, Google and many others. The business opportunity for someone to guarantee they will keep information safe is wide open for others to step in. And alienate America and Britain, with them becoming yesterday's USSR and East Germany. |

the US gov spends BILLIONS of $$$$ on fucking spying other countries BUT when one of their own SPIES gives up some info its ESPIONAGE :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh the US gov spends HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS on bombing other countries and this is, somehow, not terrorism and is "100% legal" BUT a guy detonates a pressure cooker and its WMD :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh The US gov spends BILLIONS on "overthrowing dictatorships" but has the same 2 political dynasties ruling it since basically the 1800-s The US gov represents 5% of the world population, but sees fit to dictate how the other 95% of humanity should live, and the word "democracy" is crammed in to the same sentence as US government :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh |
