Russia spies may be chatting with "tasty morsel" Snowden

Russia spies may be chatting with "tasty morsel" Snowden

By Lidia Kelly

(Reuters) - Edward Snowden's disappearance from view has heightened speculation that the former U.S. spy agency contractor may be talking to Russian secret services, which see him as a "tasty morsel" that is too good to miss.

Even a flat denial by President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday is unlikely to end whispers that Snowden may have been interviewed by intelligence officers anxious to get their hands on whatever information he has not yet leaked.

Some experts say Russia might even try to hand him over to the United States in a Cold War-style exchange, although this seemed less likely after Putin ruled out his extradition to face espionage charges back home.

"He is a tasty morsel for any, any secret service, including ours. Any secret service would love to talk to him," said a Russian security source.

He's a 'person' without a country right now, carrying around classified information on the evil United States.

...while this country has increased surveillance on its own citizens, the U.S. is a piker compared to the Russians and Chinese. Ya think they weren't monitoring every call he made or every keystroke on his puter? Somehow I see an exchange across a bridge in Prague or some other old cold war locale. This is turning more into a bad Hollywood spy comedy every day...

In fact, look at what you did: You showed up in a thread posted a comment about "Big Blue Linked List," and after an appropriate response, you retort:

"thats fucking funny, you calling anyone mean-spirited"

No, that's "fucking funny," and my other comment stands.

Or is that the bogeyman under the bed?

Does it come out and say "blue links" instead of "boo"?

Leaker Snowden is an American spying for China and Russia.

Big fucking "hero"..
