Isnt there an extradition agreement between the US and Hong Kong?

As with any whistleblower scenario or political topic that pops up, the most important thing we as Americans can do is invest more time judging people than programs.

So the NSA hires people who didn't even graduate high school?

We don't know much of anything about it, so we cannot judge it. We do know things about Mr. Snowden though.

Man was matter, that was Snowden's secret. Drop him out a window and he'll fall. Set fire to him and he'll burn. Bury him and he'll rot, like other kinds of garbage. The spirit gone, man is garbage.

Booz Allen too.

I find this guy's motives to be quite dubious. Did he think they would stop doing this once every knew? After a decade with them, he cannot be that dumb. He has got to realize that they just be more invasive and more paranoid and now go after anyone who communicates concerns far more aggressively to stop these leaks before they get to this point. He's just made things worse. I would not be surprised if this guy he been selling assets to China or Russia for years and this was a hail mary to try and orchestrate an internet supported following to cover up his wrong doing by poisoning the well. If tomorrow the US government says 'he was a spy for the PRC', would you believe them? Of course not, and thus his plan worked.

Is this really whistleblowing?

It's the NSA, if he did anything he reassured people that they are in fact doing thier jobs.

The entire purpose of the agency is to spy on people yes American citizens.
