At this point is there a compelling heuristic we can use to determine if Snowden is an idealistic whistleblower or simply a Russian intelligence asset? The facts seem to support both interpretations.
- boomboomsubban 6y agoThe facts absolutely do not support either interpretation. The only reason Snowden is in Russia is that the US canceled his passport.

- jessaustin 6y agoThis sounds like some sort of nutty conspiracy theory.
