[Hoot Gibson]

To see Bradley Manning's name mentioned in the same sentence with this guy pisses me off. The cases are totally different, this guy actually cared for whether or not he gave up intel that could hurt us...Manning didn't.

I agree with you all though, takes some balls to publicly go against the CIA and NSA...

I agree with you about Manning. That guy is a little weasel who sat at his desk day after day pretending to listen to music as he was indiscriminately burning CDs containing classified material. I feel the same way about Assange. His actions were never intended to bring about positive change, just to grab attention for himself. Snowden is no anarchist.

I hope that Snowden manages to stay alive for awhile but it sounds like he has some information in his head that would be invaluable to any foreign government that manages to snatch him. Hong Kong seems like a strange place for him to have picked to make his stand.
