With Obama at a cyber summit with China, they will bounce Snowden as a leverage option. IMO.

(3,249 posts)What are you talking about? Yes, I suppose the Chinese or the Macao govt would check his passport upon entry to their country. How would the US State Dept find out about it? Foreign govts don't report to the US govt. Or do you think that there are US State Dept agents at every port of entry to every country in the world?

Not really earth shaking news.

(2 posts)China hacked pentagon last month (http://www.theatlanticwire.com/global/2013/05/china-hackers-pentagon/65628/)
Obama meeting with China PM last week
Snowden (holed up in Hong Kong) said China has a "spirited commitment to free speech and the right of political dissent" what non chinese person would EVER use the term "spirited"?? that statement came straight from China's ministry.
Snowden story is questionable (http://thisainthell.us/blog/?p=36139)
Sheeple rallying around Snowden. (see twitter #IStandWithSnowden trending)
Snowden Op has US agent (glenn greenwald)
China is running full court press on USG. US owes them $1 trillion. they have come to collect.
or am I tripping?

(34,845 posts)Remember that recent ricin case where the wife accused her husband of sending tainted letters to Obama?
Well, it turned out that SHE sent the letters and tried to frame her husband.
I'm starting to think this innocent 'ballerina' in Hawaii might be calling the shots here. She's really the leader of an organized Taiwanese criminal gang that is trying to bring China and America into conflict!
SNOWDEN IS INNOCENT!
