There was no public uprising after Snowden in the US either ... Some will now say you can't compare this. They are right because what Kazakhstan is doing there

There was no public uprising after Snowden in the US either ... Some will now say you can't compare this. They are right because what Kazakhstan is doing there looks amateurish.

For a while, I've been in the camp that the Snowden leaks were intentional and that he still works for the US. A rich work from home government contractor, with a smoking hot girlfriend, takes off with secrets and hides in Russia. His hot girlfriend is even allowed to join him. I think it's more likely the Snowden leaks were to show just how little Americans care. They're using that spy network to track reactions.

  If Snowden works for the US, or did when he leaked, who does / did he report to? It certainly wasn't Clapper...

  what does the attractiveness of his girlfriend have to do with it?

Yes, because an overwhelming majority of Americans dislike Snowden. Not a slim majority, an overwhelming one. http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015/04/21/edward-snowden-unpopular-at-home-a-hero-abroad-poll-finds http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015/04/21/edward-snowde...

  An overwhelming majority of those think he is 'the wikileaks guy' though.
