Seems like this guy didn't think far ahead. He does a righteous act, but in doing so ruins his life and is now a nomad looking for a country that will take him in. What about his income, family, and friends? He really messed his life up.

And do you think homegrown terrorists in the United States are going to talk important things by the phone/internet anymore? Offcourse not, they will do it all in person from now on. The NSA's job of finding evidence on terrorist suspects just got THAT much harder.

That's why I have no qualms saying this guy deserves what he gets. He did more bad then good, essentially telling terrorists to not talk electronically anymore.


Nailed it.

And what a hypocrit this geek is... He thinks the US and western governments are corrupt and manipulative, so he chooses... Russia.  Yep, that bastion of democracy, freedom and a caring state with zero corruption at all levels is his new choice of a great place to live.

lmao. What a pillock.

Couldn't it be he just sacrificed any possibility of living well in the hopes of making the country he actually cares about a better place?  Assange can't move much either.  He's not picking places based on how good they are, but if he can live without being in prison.  That's what it seems like anyway.  If he can enlighten the U.S. populace while limiting the damage he does I'd be happy.

Also, everyone here assuming no other country is doing this stuff when they obviously are are a little out of touch no?

I wouldn't really compare Snowden with a rapist.  Paranoia aside Assange would be able to live just about anywhere but the US were it not for his penchant for rape. (and no... it really is "real" rape if you look at the criminal charges and accounts that were leaked, which amusingly assange was totally against being leaked.)

Even when it comes to leaking, the two did it in such totally different ways.  Assange did it for fame and profit... and was having fun traveling around like nothing happened because nothing could be held against him. 

Snowdon... I can't say he didn't do it for those things... but if he did he sure didn't make a good plan of it.  Due to him actually committing a crime with his leaking he actually needs asylum.  He's really much more analogus to Bradley Manning then Julian Assange.
