In heated exchanges, the White House rejected comparisons with its previous support of "political dissidents" made by a Russian journalist at the briefing. "There is a big difference," said Carney. "Snowden has been indicted with a criminal offence".

The Russian journalist was shushed quiet by another reporter in the White House press room when attempting to ask a follow-up question.

Edward Snowden secured a job with a US government contractor for one reason alone - to obtain evidence of Washington's cyberspying networks, the South China Morning Post can reveal.

For the first time, Snowden has admitted he sought a position at Booz Allen Hamilton so he could collect proof about the US National Security Agency's secret surveillance programmes ahead of planned leaks to the media.

"My position with Booz Allen Hamilton granted me access to lists of machines all over the world the NSA hacked," he told the Post on June 12. "That is why I accepted that position about three months ago."

The first thing that must strike any outside observer is that
Socialism, in its developed form is a theory confined entirely to the
middle classes. The typical Socialist is not, as tremulous old ladies
imagine, a ferocious-looking working man with greasy overalls and a raucous
voice. He is either a youthful snob-Bolshevik who in five years' time will
quite probably have made a wealthy marriage and been converted to Roman
Catholicism; or, still more typically, a prim little man with a white-
collar job, usually a secret teetotaller and often with vegetarian
leanings, with a history of Nonconformity behind him, and, above all, with
a social position which he has no intention of forfeiting. This last type
is surprisingly common in Socialist parties of every shade

that guy was in the actual c. i. a. for years, tried to join the special forces to kill muslims, but what finally tips him over the edge is the government looking at skype IMs between billymc and lime popsicle or whatever

a bunch of reporters booked on the flight from Moscow to Havana and submitted pictures of the only empty seat on the plane that it must have been the one reserved for snowden. Journalism.

this is probably all just a brilliant campaign by the Cuban Tourism Committee. Snowden fucks off someplace incognito and wikileaks keeps saying "he's totally going this time, going to cuba. flying on a plane. gonna party all day with Assata. come and see!" and every inbound plane is crammed full of bourgie reporters with expense accounts.

A shite is any of about 25 wading bird species in three genera in the family Scolopacidae. They are characterized by a very long, slender bill and crypsis plumage. The Gallinago shites have a nearly worldwide distribution, the Lymnocryptes Jack Shite is restricted to Asia and Europe and the Coenocorypha shites are found only in the Outlying Islands of New Zealand. The three species of painted shite are not closely related to the typical shites, and are placed in their own family, the Rostratulidae.
