General Discussion

At this point, either Snowden has gone crazy or he's just trying to insult everyone's intelligence (although I have no doubt that a lot of people will buy it hook, like and sinker judging by the free comments on the guardian site)

Is this some kind of game to him? Is this MTV's 'Punk'd'?

Is Snowden so insane that he thinks the good old American-style "Setup and big reveal" will work on Putin? He realizes Putin deals with "accountability" using ropes, burlap bags and bullets through the skull, right? Does he have any clue that Putin is very shrewd, very paranoid and has a fanatical hatred of people disloyal to him?

Does Snowden even have any credibility since he has clearly would have been actively ignoring Russian surveillance abuses all this time? Does Greenwald?

When Snowden said there has been little public discussion about the issue; has he, you know, read a SINGLE news outlet in the past 5-10 years (or even the past 6 months)? Pretty much everybody NOT named Greenwald, Poitras or Assange has had *something* to say about it -- And I refuse to believe those three aren't being intentionally ignorant in the face of such overwhelming evidence...

Is Snowden really about to bite the hand that has been feeding and protecting him?

Does Snowden realize no country on the planet will give him asylum after watching him turn against his Russian benefactors? Federal prison ironically might be the last safe place he could go...
