Snowden writes a letter to Brazil offering to help in their investigation on the NSA
8 replies, posted
[quote](CNN) -- National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden has written an "open letter to the people of Brazil" offering to help investigate U.S. surveillance of Brazilian citizens.
The letter was posted on the website pastebin and on the Facebook page of David Michael Miranda, partner of journalist Glenn Greenwald, according to a tweet from Greenwald.
In the letter, Snowden says he has told Brazilian lawmakers that he is willing to help investigate "suspected crimes against Brazilian citizens."
"I have expressed my willingness to assist wherever appropriate and lawful, but unfortunately the United States government has worked very hard to limit my ability to do so -- going so far as to force down the Presidential Plane of Evo Morales to prevent me from traveling to Latin America!
"Until a country grants permanent political asylum, the U.S. government will continue to interfere with my ability to speak."
Brazil has been in an uproar over reports of U.S. spying. In September, Brazilian lawmakers said they planned to send a commission to Russia to speak with Snowden, who had allegedly leaked information about U.S. spying against the country's president.
Foreign Minister Luiz Alberto Figueiredo called the situation "an inadmissible and unacceptable violation of Brazilian sovereignty."[/quote]

She looks like that kind of grandmother that wears excessive amounts of jewelry, perfume and puts plastic coverings over all her furniture.

moist
And just like that, thread derailed.
On topic, I love Snowden. He's a hero among men. I mean, yeah, he did technically give away extremely sensitive information about the government, I can understand why he's a fugitive but I can't agree with what he did being wrong. He's made out by the NSA to be someone that's a despicable traitor who's aiding enemies of the US, when that's not what he is. He's doing what he feels is morally correct and even sacrificed any chance of living a peaceful life in his home country to get away with getting the truth out.
I've heard people call this guy a nerd, a terrorist, all kinds of insults, but the fact of the matter is that what he did took some major fucking balls to go through with it.
