He's a super agent. He's probably the kind that can float past suspicion and whitewash people's minds so they don't see him. Probably can do things like, walk in the astral dimension and hypnotize masses of people. Maybe he's the kind that can walk through walls.

He didn't wake up. He was eager to be 'them'. But he decided he'd be more important by being a leak.
My god, now he's christ?
You really do worship anyone that is in the spot light, unity, dont you.
From child killers with innocent eyes, to mung bean hackers with sad eyes. They're all innocent and being persecuted by the new bogeyman.
As long as they're in the spot light, you only see an angel. I don't get this at all.. the only way I can even contemplate such overly eager desire to see good in people accused of wrong, leads me to utter frustration at the sheer ignorance of it all.

I think you're right there. It's called the martyr clause. One bullet will legitimise everything he's said.

If their was any balls in the goverments in EU then all trade with the US should be suspended and all visum for the US citizens should be rejected.

"Snowden has enough information to cause harm to the U.S. government in a single minute than any other person has ever had," Greenwald said in an interview in Rio de Janeiro with the Argentinean daily La Nacion.
"The U.S. government should be on its knees every day begging that nothing happen to Snowden, because if something does happen to him, all the information will be revealed and it could be its worst nightmare."
