Snowden Joins Twitter, Follows NSA

wiredmikey writes: Edward Snowden joined Twitter Tuesday, picking up more than a quarter of a million followers on the social network in just over two hours. Snowden followed a single Twitter account: the U.S. National Security Agency, from which he stole electronic documents revealing the agency's secret surveillance programs. "Can you hear me now?" he asked in his first tweet, which was quickly resent by Twitter users tens of thousands of times. In his second, Snowden noted the recent news about the planet Mars and then quipped about the difficulty he had finding asylum after the U.S. government fingered him as the source of the NSA leaks. "And now we have water on Mars!" he wrote. "Do you think they check passports at the border? Asking for a friend."

Khm, I wonder, why he is not following Kremlin's accounts. Just to, you know, hold Putin accountable...

Neah, he is safe in Russia. You know, the nice free country, were renegade government employees are never tortured — merely given tea with radioactive poison in it.
