Snowden Queries Putin On Live TV Regarding Russian Internet Surveillance

Posted by timothy on from the keep-to-the-script-now dept.

Rambo Tribble (1273454) writes "Edward Snowden appeared on a Russian television call-in show to ask Russian President Vladimir Putin about policies of mass surveillance. The exchange has a canned quality which will likely lead to questions regarding the integrity of Snowden's actions, in the query of his host in asylum."

    Snowden wasn't a whistleblower, he was a spy for the other side.

    If he were a whistleblower, we would have seen revelations in the press, not a document dump to the public.

    Not to mention a lack of taking several hard drives full of data to the Russians, who as events in Crimea show, haven't changed since the Soviet Era.
