Blueprints on Hold
"In order to take documents with him that proved that what he was saying was true he had to take ones that included very sensitive, detailed blueprints of how the NSA does what they do."Committing a resourcefully determined act of treason by absconding with "literally thousands of documents" on the part of the unctuously sanctimonious Edward Snowden who sacrificed "paradise" in favour of responding to his patriotic conscience on behalf of his abandoned country and his supporting fan club, by lifting "basically the instruction manual for how the NSA is built."
Glen Greenwald, columnist, Guardian newspaper
But that's all right, since Mr. Greenwald, an at-distance confidante of Mr. Snowden assured The Associated Press in an interview that those critical documents that the National Security Agency of the United States of America would far rather have preferred remain secretly intact and not available to careful scrutiny by the Russian Secret Service or for that matter, any other foreign entity, would not prove harmful to American national security. Now there's a leap into the well of stupidity.
Mr. Snowden obviously knows better. Otherwise he wouldn't have bothered with his elaborate scheme to take possession of such high-level-secret documentation in their huge numbers of self-incriminating evidence of betrayal of country in the guise of an exceptional spirit of patriotism, saving the country from its sinister secret service agency's machinations against friends, enemies and citizens alike.
"I think it would be harmful to the U.S. government, as they perceive their own interests, if the details of those programs were revealed", said he modestly. Adding he had taken the trouble to encrypt them, to ensure their safekeeping. Their safekeeping would have been ensured had they been left where they belong, in the possession of the government agency that has good reason to feel their interests have been harmed, with or without their full disclosure.
He did, after all, with vision aforethought, flee with them first to China, then to Russia, both countries whose administrations must register with anyone whose mind hasn't been captured by dreamland, as harbouring less than favourable views of the United States. Such documents would represent a windfall of monumental espionage-value proportions to either country, both of which modestly demur; they have no interest in taking possession of them.
Edward Snowden continues to mount breathless news conferences. The lamb who sacrificed his future for the greater purpose of destroying his country's leonine intelligence-gathering apparatus, leaving it wide open to incursion by its obvious enemies is obviously enjoying demonstrating for the world his miserable plight, sans passport, sans passage out of a Moscow airport transit area; tedious to a fault.
"It's not just a matter of, if he does, [expires] things get released, it's more nuanced than that. It's really just a way to protect himself against extremely rogue behaviour on the part of the United States, by which I mean violent actions toward him, designed to end his life, and it's just a way to ensure that nobody feels incentivized to do that", explained Mr. Greenwald helpfully.
Meanwhile, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Bolivia are on call, awaiting Russia's helpful transit arrangements post debriefing.
