I do find it baffling that Greenwald hasn't written an article detailing his relationship with Snowden, the timeline of when they began communicating and when Snowden started at BAH, if they are in contact still, etc., at least to disp

Is it the responsibility of a newspaper to create a long-running scandal, or to report on the news/truth? I'm confused by people that say the motives of someone like Snowden or an institution like The Guardian are irrelevant yet t

I still fail to see how revealing intelligence actions by the USG against other countries helps hold them accountable, especially when it is the same sort of thing every other country takes part in.

More than likely he is holed up in a special area of the airport, detained or guarded by Russian special services.

Are you suggesting that Snowden is aware of these backchannel threats then? The US isn't in the habit of ensuring that the rule of law will be fulfilled since that is still the default posture of the government.

Regardless of how you feel about whether his criminal charges are political there is nothing extralegal about requesting other countries to turn over the person you've charged with a crime. It cannot be extra , meaning outside, the le

This is how relations between countries work. They need to be bilateral by definition. Agreements are weighed on a cost benefit ratio. What country wants to continue to be friends with a country that harbors their fugitives?

It's a misappropriation of the meaning of forced exile as a punishment.

Assuming Snowden is referring to the UN Declaration of Human Rights, the second part of Section 14 would seem to apply here: This right may not be invoked in the case of prosecutions genuinely arising from non-political crimes

I fail to see what is "extralegal" about trying to make sure you can get custody and try the person you've charged with a crime. Every country in the world that has extradition treaties with other states does the same exact t

Serious question: how has the US been "extrajudicial"? Isn't it common to revoke a passport of someone you want to try of a crime and have extradited? Does one expect the government to assist in your asylum attempts? I don&#x

Exactly. Does Snowden honestly expect to not be charged with a crime that he has admitted to, even if he disagrees with the morality of the crime?

Since it was a letter to Ecuador, it may have been poorly translated into English for posting.

While the public has cried out support of my shining a light on this secret system of injustice, the government of the United States of America responded with an extrajudicial man-hunt costing me my family, my freedom to travel and my righ

What is the point of generating this value on the client? The second scenario you describe seems to work the same, minus the need to generate values on the client, with the same outcome.

The problem with #2 is that Snowden isn't publishing this stuff, the journalists that he already gave thousands of documents to are. So I wonder if this statement from Putin is either ignorant of that, or intended to sound far more ben

Is there any language this is not true of?

Well, what's the point in letting him leak stuff to the media from Russia when the Russian government could just get all those secrets from him anyway? This isn't exactly a great benefit to the US either way...

Isn't it also likely that while detained, a parade of agents from Russia's special services would be attempting to talk to him? I have a hard time believing that any country, let alone the US or Russia or China, would not be at le

The previous discussion on this article you link to is only on the second page!

Do you have a source for your last two statements? The idea that European intelligence agencies aren't interested in any data that the US could give them seems absurd.

How does the "reference implementation" of ASP.NET actually work? Is the cookie's value mapped to some in-memory entry in the application server, is it stored in a database, etc? It seems that the article doesn't say.

I think you see a sudden surge in submissions because there was a surge in Medium handing out invites and thus more people having access to publish on Medium.

Since he has been there for about a week now, it seems incredibly unlikely that the Russian government hasn't been able to get their hands on all the classified material and laptops he took with him. Flying to Russia without a good pla

Huge difference between allowing someone entry to your country and the government paying to fly a jetliner across the world for one person.

I mean, I always figured spying was a form of warfare. Here is the problem - you are starting from a bad assumption.

And why did they hold back these slides from the original story when some of the content is contradicting?
