What would be the consequences of the US illegally deporting Snowden from France like that? What would be printed in the newspapers?
- jessaustin 7y ago"Snowden goes missing while hiking in Alps; assumed to be buried in glacier crevasse"
- AstralStorm 7y agoPresuming he does something stupid like that, and this cover would ruin US goal of making an example.
- jessaustin 7y agoHe wouldn't have to choose to go hiking, or even venture within 100 km of the mountains, in order for that headline to be reported. USA has plenty of whistleblower examples anyway. We've tortured Chelsea Manning for years. Others who have been punished, to varying degrees, include Bill Binney, Reality Winner, and John Kiriakou. Presumably there are others of whom we're not aware. These people have done really small things to rouse the ire of the TLAs. How could they punish Snowden in a proportional fashion, anyway?
- jacquesm 7y agoOh there would be terrible outrage. And then people would get on with their lives. Whistleblowers get thrown under the nearest bus, it is a law of nature.
- RodgerTheGreat 7y ago"CIA apprehends former NSA contractor charged with espionage" would be a factually correct headline.
