What I find odd are people finding odd he went to US's rivals in such a situation. I wonder, where do you suppose he should have gone? US-controlled Europe?
The enemy of my enemy is my friend should be pretty obvious once you're running from a government that does not think twice about murdering their own citizens.
- wil421 13y agoYes but the point is he brought his treasure trove of intel with him.
- vidarh 13y agoDid he? How do you know?
- 4bpp 13y agoWhat sort of cold war spy movie scenario are you imagining? If he wanted to give the data to the Russians or Chinese, he could just have uploaded it somewhere for them to grab. On the other hand, I would assume that he knows how to encrypt things well enough that nicking his laptops while he's not looking would be pretty much useless.
- vasilipupkin 13y agoyes. And how can you be 100% sure that he has not given what's on those laptops to the Russians voluntarily ?
- scott_karana 13y agoWho cares if we can't be sure? We can't be sure if he hasn't released a super-hacker sci-fi bacteria infection on New York, either. Only time will tell.
- vasilipupkin 13y agoWe should care that we can't be sure about something as important as Snowden's dealings with Putin government, if only to slow down rush to judgement, when situation is uncertain.
