(6-17-13) Will Edward Snowden, the hapless NSA geek whistleblower end up in a Hong Kong flophouse?

Or will he end up working for the Chinese Ministry of State Security?

Which would you choose?

What Obama is trying to do now is to downplay the whole thing.

Just look at mainstream media in the last couple days, particularly the Sunday talk shows, and everybody in Washington is trying to pooh-pooh what this guy did.

They say -- Oh, he really didn't know anything. It was meaningless. He made claims that weren't true. He's nothing more than a conspiratorial nut. They're doing that on purpose so they can back away from it. The decision must have been made.

In other words, they're going to Plan-B him.

It all started last Wednesday with the article in the People's Daily, the Chinese Communist Party's flagship newspaper.

That's when the Chinese came out with their position on this guy, when they said in the People's Daily article that Snowden should be commended for telling the truth.
