Дурак, герой, идеалист, шпион, или...?

Круче чем генерал Калугин

Ну вот, и на родине наконец, не только простой народ слово замолвил:

Email exchange between Edward Snowden and former GOP Senator Gordon Humphrey

Круче чем генерал Калугин

ого!, прочитал кто это такой.
даже записал себе название его книжицы на почитать потом.

[Lor]

ого!, прочитал кто это такой.

Если бы он был "ого!", то:

во-первых бы он не высовывался,
во-вторых ему бы не дали высовываться,
а в-третьих, его бы засунули туда, где от него даже бы ДНК не осталось.

А так, я помню, как его по телеку крутили, почти как попсу.

Mr. Humphrey,

Thank you for your words of support. I only wish more of our lawmakers shared your principles - the actions I've taken would not have been necessary.

The media has distorted my actions and intentions to distract from the substance of Constitutional violations and instead focus on personalities. It seems they believe every modern narrative requires a bad guy. Perhaps it does. Perhaps, in such times, loving one's country means being hated by its government.

If history proves that be so, I will not shy from that hatred. I will not hesitate to wear those charges of villainy for the rest of my life as a civic duty, allowing those governing few who dared not do so themselves to use me as an excuse to right these wrongs.

My intention, which I outlined when this began, is to inform the public as to that which is done in their name and that which is done against them. I remain committed to that. Though reporters and officials may never believe it, I have not provided any information that would harm our people - agent or not - and I have no intention to do so.

Further, no intelligence service - not even our own - has the capacity to compromise the secrets I continue to protect. While it has not been reported in the media, one of my specializations was to teach our people at DIA how to keep such information from being compromised even in the highest threat counter-intelligence environments (i.e. China).

You may rest easy knowing I cannot be coerced into revealing that information, even under torture.

With my thanks for your service to the nation we both love,

Edward Snowden

Snowden's reply to Sen. Humphrey...

:115:

Mr. Greenwald,

Yes. It was I who sent the email message to Edward Snowden, thanking him for exposing astonishing violations of the US Constitution and encouraging him to persevere in the search for asylum.

To my knowledge, Mr. Snowden has disclosed only the existence of a program and not details that would place any person in harm's way. I regard him as a courageous whistle-blower.

I object to the monumentally disproportionate campaign being waged by the U.S. Government against Edward Snowden, while no effort is being made to identify, remove from office and bring to justice those officials who have abused power, seriously and repeatedly violating the Constitution of the United States and the rights of millions of unsuspecting citizens.

Americans concerned about the growing arrogance of our government and its increasingly menacing nature should be working to help Mr. Snowden find asylum. Former Members of Congress, especially, should step forward and speak out.

Regards,

Gordon Humphrey.

Не, ну понятно ещё, когда живущие здесь выражают разной степени отрицательные чувства по поводу Эдика и его деяний.

Но где он тамошним-то дорогу перешёл, в каком месте?
Особенно украино-бушерскому населению: ничьей корове сдохнуть не пожелал, никого не оскорбил, не обворовал... и с чего бы, кажется, захлёбываться в праведном гневе.

Тындычанам не понять... :115:

Дину Риду повезло, что он жил в другие времена.
Сейчас ему бы грозил наверное электрический стул...

Вот Эрик умный мужик. А Влас простой, как три рубля. :115:
