Better to be free in Russia than rot in some American prison kHz1000 Send a noteboard - 09/12/2013 09:10:20 PM

I don't care about his motives or his persona. Anybody in the right position could have leaked the information and that's what's important. The info, not the guy. Having said that, I'm glad the guy is free and not in prison for doing something that people all over the world are grateful for.

Perhaps more in the eyes of the Americans? kHz1000 - 09/12/2013 11:10:10 PM 955 Views
In this context American opinion is the important one, since it is US policy under discussion Isaac - 09/12/2013 11:41:07 PM 938 Views

Screw that. He's not obligated to martyr himself. beetnemesis - 11/12/2013 06:23:43 PM 896 Views
