I can't recall the last time my opinion of someone swung so dramatically from one extreme to another.

Yeah, my original opinion of him was that he broke the law and if captured he should be punished. But I also thought he was in the Ellsberg mold, doing something he believed was right and all that, so I was sort of half hoping he found safety in Hong Kong or Iceland or wherever.

Now he just sounds like another Assange, I think it's still important to have a public debate about the sort of programs he exposed, but I can think that and still think Snowden is basically a whiny little attention whoring bitch, not to mention a massive hypocrite.

I tuned into Glenn Beck

Why would you do that? His shtick got boring years ago.  :hmm:

He still entertains me when he and his two sidekicks go into smartass mode.  When he gets too emotional and/or preachy I can't stand him.

I missed him.  I don't want everyone to come to the realization that I'm the dumbest guy here.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

France denied a Bolivian plan entry into its airspace because of fear that Snowdon might be on board. Going a little crazy, no? Of course, if any country would try to smuggle Snowdon out of Moscow...

I pretty much expect to be reading about how he mysteriously got shot sometime in the near future. :sleep:

That said, I expected someone to off Assange years ago and that still hasn't happened. :blush:

Well, Assange overstates his importance to the United States. I'll note that all he's hiding from in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London is most likely a police interview in Sweden and then probably them deciding they do not have enough evidence for a trial. Even if he was somehow convicted of what amount to he said/she said crimes (and seem revolve around whether he surreptitiously removed a condom unbeknownst to his willing sexual partners during coitus) the penalties in Sweden appear to be basically less harsh than spending over a year in a small Embassy that doesn't even have any grounds and is just in the middle floors of an office building and not even equipped for permanent residents. The dude sleeps in an office on an air mattress and has to be careful about even stepping out onto balconies because of the theoretical legality of a tactical team swapping down from above and lifting him out.

There's zero evidence whatsoever the United States even wants Assange, we've never asked for him, the only people who have have been legislators and other low level officials spouting off angrily at the news. Most of them Republican and thus not running the DoJ and certainly not running the White House. Assange perpetuates his "exile" in that embassy to keep himself as a cause celebre for the kind of retards that would celebrate that sort of grandstanding.

I actually now suspect Snowden will become "Moscown airport terminal dude" and live there indefinitely.
