"Fugitive ex-U.S. spy Snowden in talks on returning home: lawyer"
What a horrible, slanted, and incredibly unfactual title for this article.
Of course he's negotiating. Why not?
- slg 12y agoThose words might be loaded, but they aren't wrong. He is wanted by the government to face criminal accusations therefore he is a fugitive. The word doesn't imply guilt of anything beyond not turning oneself in. He used to do work for the CIA and NSA therefore he is an ex-U.S. spy. The word spy is only being modified by ex-U.S., it isn't implying that he is a current spy or has worked for any other government.
- zbowling 12y agoFugitive is correct. ex-Spy no. He was a network admin, not an analyst.
