In reply to the discussion: Greenwald: U.S. should be ‘on its knees begging’ that nothing happens to Snowden [View all]struggle4progress

Is that why Mr Snowden asked the Washington Post to help him convince a foreign embassy that he was the source of documents supplied to them?
Is that why Mr Snowden said he'd set up the release of documents he says will bring down the government of the US if things don't go the way he wants? If such documents actually show illegal activity, why doesn't he just release them?
If his intended message were indeed what you suggest, he has had enormous difficulty staying on-point
An alternative interpretation is that he is a self-important little dramatist, who craves excitement and would like to be the center of attention, but is currently stymied by his own chaotic thought processes and poor planning skills
