Ron Paul: I’m worried that the government might kill Edward Snowden with a drone
During an interview with FOX Business, former Rep. Ron Paul explained that he was concerned about the well-being of National Security Agency whistle-blower Edward Snowden.
“I’m worried about somebody in our government might kill him with a cruise missile or a drone missile,” Paul explained. “I mean we live in a bad time where American citizens don’t even have rights and that they can be killed, but the gentlemen is trying to tell the truth about what’s going on.”
Paul added that there were no signs of Snowden defecting to a foreign country, which meant that he was not really a threat.
“It’s a shame that we are in an age where people who tell the truth about what the government is doing gets into trouble,” he concluded.

if they wanted to kill this guy why the fuck would they use a drone ?
he would have an "accidental" overdose or something like that
btw - Ron Paul is NUTS

Why the fuck does the Messiah need to do that?
He knows all you mindless tards will fall in line with whatever he says or does.
Skip prediction #2:
He'll whack this guy in broad daylight with all you libs cheering him on and calling anybody who disagrees terrorist sympathizers.

Straw Man prediction # 1 - Skippy is a paranoid delusional nut
wait, that's not a prediction of the future. It's a statement of present time fact
-
Wouldn't surprise me if someone took him out. But he does need to spend a long time in prison.

I would be very surprised if he had a sudden accident
I agree and hope he will spend a long time in prison

Ironic when exposing a crime, is considered a worse crime itself.

Yes, I'm really surprised to read Beach Bum and Straw Man's comments.
I didn't think it was illegal to expose criminal activity. It would actually be criminal not to come out with this information.

can you tell us what crime you think was committed ?

WASHINGTON — The American Civil Liberties Union sued the Obama administration on Tuesday over its “dragnet” collection of logs of domestic phone calls, contending that the once-secret program — whose existence was exposed last week by a former National Security Agency contractor — is illegal and asking a judge to stop it and order the records purged.

i'm not sure where you cut and pasted that from
why do you think this activity (what has been described so far) is illegal ?

Can you imagine how pissed off & disgusted he must have been to do what he did?
It's not like he'd been living under a rock, ...he must of heard of Bradley Manning.
Here is a 28 yr old kid, making 6 figures a year, with a red hot stripper girlfriend,
...and he gives up his life to become Bradley Manning 2.0.... What else is he not telling us?

Oh yeah, he was so disgusted he went to a foreign newspaper, fled to a foreign country, stayed in a very nice hotel, and is probably working with people who are spying on us (China). They should have him and Manning share a cell.

I could be wrong, ...but given everything we know, I think it could be a fair assumption that he stood a snowball's chance in hell of getting the story broken by a US paper.
Why should he not stay in a nice hotel. He is was a 6 figure income earner, his girlfriend a hot Las Vegas stripper who was probably pulling 6 figures herself. He's probably used to certain material standards.
Why are you so angered by the unsubstantiated possibility that he might have been working with people who could have been spying on you, ...yet so nonchalant, even dismissive of the VERIFIED FACT that he WAS working for people who ARE INDEED spying on you ILLEGALLY, and LIEING TO CONGRESS ABOUT IT?! ???
You're being plunked, ...and you're mad at the guy who revealed to you that those you trusted were LIEING to you, ...to your face? Sounds like a rampant case of misplaced anger if you ask me :-\

First 2 are smart policy if you're going to cross Obama and he already said he didn't trust our media outlets. Hell, most people on this board don't trust our media outlets.
3rd one - True, nice hotel.
4th - I've seen zero evidence he's in cahoots with the Chinese. If it turns out he is, he should be shot and shit on along with Manning.
There's been no national debate on this. Obama hid it. The Congress hid it. They used secret courts to hide it.
I'm familiar enough with your posts that should someone have said this shit was going on, you would expect proof. How the hell is anyone going to get proof without a whistleblower coming forward?

Normally I'd tell you to shut up, it doesn't concern you.
But, we've probably been collecting all your phone records too, lol.

No. 1, I'm not angry. Yet. No. 2, I'm actually glad it has been exposed and think the government spying on us is wrong, but I don't condone what he did. You cannot have people like him making their own judgments about what should or should not be disclosed in violation of their security clearances, federal law, etc. There are ways to be a whistle blower. This isn't one of them.
I could care less if he stays in a nice hotel on his own dime, but I'm assuming he isn't paying the bill

I haven't seen the evidence either, but it would not surprise me at all. Why wouldn't the Chinese be all over him? They are already all up in our gill. I posted an article a few months ago about how extensive Chinese spying is in this country. I'll try and bump it.
-
No need to bump it, of course I would expect the Chinese to be all over him. Hong Kong isn't the best location, IMO.
Let me clarify since I've been doing some trolling.
- Obama won't try to off this guy.
- Releasing classified info is always wrong. Hell, no one should even give out confidential info for any reason. Even the smallest shit could have serious consequences.
- I'm glad the program has been exposed as I think it's wrong as hell.
- What's the solution? When and where can whistleblowers be safe? How can they open up a public debate without exposing something like this?
3 branches of government doing everything they can to stop the public from knowing.
Seems to me that we need to make some deep-rooted systemic changes to bring our 'representative' government back to being representative.

That would be cool.
Crazy but cool.
