According to the international press, Edward Snowden arrived in Moscow recently. It is believed that he will discuss political asylum with the ambassador of Ecuador.

off! 

Putin probably, too.

Hopefully the possible security implications will keep those NSA and GCHQ assholes busy for a while.

The less they find time to search OUR data, the better for the rest of the world.

I am also betting any sum that all of this data is used for economic espionage, too.

This entire incident put a very dark light onto the "Free" western world. You know... it is a bit difficult to accuse China, Russia and all the others of questionable civil rights, when yourself clearly show beyond any doubt that you would remove those rights rather today than tomorow.

I dont believe your claims that it is all "for our good". If it is, why does a thirty year young man that has a great income, a girlfriend and generaly a nice live, feels the need to do that?

You do not, under any circumstances, protect civil rights, by mostly abolishing them. A fact proven countless time in old and recent human history.

One would wish, that the people of the USA and the UK would realize that, too. And then put their runaway intelligence agencies back into their steel chains, where they belong.
