The man is desperate for attention, but doesn't want to appear so. I guess.
- Permit 13y agoHow is releasing a single press release being "desperate for attention"? A common theme among people who oppose Edward Snowden's is to criticize his character. Even within this thread people have resorted to name calling, dubbing him a "Drama Queen" and accuse him of seeking fame. I suppose it's easier to attack a person than it is to attack the issues he stands for.
- reaganing 13y agoIf he wasn't, he would have simply turned himself in and faced trial. All his globe-trotting and statements just detract from the issues he's raised re: surveillance.
- cheald 13y agoUnless he doesn't believe that he can get a fair and just trial. Given the history of those before him, I'd say that's a fair assumption.
- reaganing 13y agoI don't think it's all that fair of an assumption, and even so, he's only delaying the inevitable. He will be brought back and tried eventually.
- Ygg2 13y agoRiiiight... He'll get fair trial and ride a unicorn over happiness mountain. All life is delaying the inevitable. Let's hope he doesn't end his in a dark cell.
- icebraining 13y agoYeah, much like those Jewish people should have turned themselves to the Roman Inquisition.
- Ygg2 13y agoOr to the Nazi. I'm sure those guys are pretty cool.
- michaelbuddy 13y agoI've seen your opinion before. And you appear to lack the ability to give his situation enough brain power to develop a realistic reply. But feel free to continue to blather on like you understand what's happening. Maybe we'll get a laugh out of it on HN.
- michaelbuddy 13y agoYou guess. Good contribution there.
