Guys, I'm just a moderate and this is the kind of situation where you lose the moderates. I was okay with it before the cold war heated up, I said the asylum was a good thing back when Putin seemed responsible and told Snowden he couldn't leak anymore as a condition of that asylum.

Now he's leaking again, and it's just like the US diplomat phone call tapes, it gets put out there at just the perfect moment when the Russians want it out there.

The Hill reported in an article on Wednesday that “US officials might not know for years whether former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden divulged war plans to China and Russia.”

...

“This includes anything that was being moved out over their communications systems, not just about the collection of intelligence,” former CIA official Gary Berntsen said.

“We have military forces positioned around the world, they push plans back and forth, assessments, deployment information — the whole thing,” he said.

Lowenthal said one clue that Russia or China is privy to the war plans could be adjustments to the way they exercise and train.

“If you notice changes in someone’s exercises, dramatic changes that seem different to you that’s not evolutionary, you would have to think, ‘Why are they doing this? Do they have their hands on war plans; have they read the plans?’ ”

...

“We have to assume… all of data he had is available to the Russians. I mean, they can break any type of code,” King said. “I think we have to assume the Chinese have it all, too.”

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')ntelligence chair: NSA leaker Edward Snowden may have had Russian help
Rogers: Snowden 'a thief whom we believe had some help'

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]House intelligence chair says Edward Snowden backs Russian expansionism

“No counter-terrorism official in the United States does not believe that Mr Snowden … is not under the influence of Russian intelligence services. We believe he is, I certainly believe he is today.

“For the investigators, they need to figure out when did that influence start. Was he interested in co-operating earlier than what the timeline would suggest?”

Rogers also sought to link Snowden's actions to Russia's occupation of Crimea and concerns over the massing of Russian troops on Ukraine's eastern border.

He said: “He [Snowden] is under the influence of Russian intelligence officials today [and] he is actually supporting, in an odd way, the brazen brutality and expansionism of Russia. He needs to understand that and I think Americans need to understand that in its proper context.”

Personally, I just don't see how it's a coincidence Snowden leaks this about China *right now* at *this exact moment* when Russia wants to agitate China against the US.

Guys, how is that cool? How has that not crossed the line?

A concerned citizen and patriot would have released it all at once, not become a tool of an adversarial dictatorship out to damage the US and advance its own aims.

And what about battle plans and such, if Snowden has handed those over too. That could cost American soldiers their lives one day.
