Scary that Greenwald has to be quite so specific about Snowden's state of mind. Between the lines, he's not about to jump off a bridge. It suggests that they're genuinely worried about what someone might do to Snowden.

It's bordering on conspiracy theory territory, but "threat to the government commits 'suicide'" is so expected, it's cliche.

  I agree, but it is the fact that Greenwald (rather than just the average conspiracy theorist) clearly has this on his mind that I found interesting.

  And as such I wish Snowden had a verified Twitter account.

    I hope I wasn't misunderstood. I'd want the Twitter account so he could verify to the public that he was still alive.

      I don't think it would be terribly difficult for the NSA to gain access to a Twitter account if they wanted to.

  That or dies[1] in a plane/car crash (jfk jr, paul wellstone, michael connell, just to name a few) [1] that the person died and the vehicle crashed are well-reported facts. Most people don't question causality after this - and enough entropy can be introduced to prevent questions also.
