2. Free Jonathan Pollard NOW!!!

3. It is unbelievable that Snowden acted alone
CJK   (01.07.14)
it is noteworthy that the two most significant spying operations in the us (manning and snowden) occurred during the obama administration. even if the next revelations help israel, a big if, the question remains who is behind snowden. who persuaded and who planned this young, uneducated man's successful theft of the largest top secret data from the nsa in us history. who told him what material to steal? how come no one noticed the theft at any point? why was this man, with no formal education, hired by the cia, and why was he hired by the nsa once he was fired by the cia? how was this man able to plan his escape with four computers, containing entire libraries worth of top secret data, without arousing any suspicion whatever? the obama administration's known incompetence and irresponsibility do not fully explain the matter.
4. Ok, the guy looks like a self-righteous...
William ,   Israel   (01.07.14)
with an air of arrogance that the Wikileaks founder had before finding himself in virtual prison in the Ecuador embassy. But my question is this....Putin granted Snowden temporary asylum under the condition that he end the leaking of information about the US. Yet, he continues to leak information, basically violating his own asylum agreement. So now what will Putin do after the asylum agreement has been violated?
5. POLLARD IS AN AMERICAN
sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (01.08.14)
Why is that hypocritical? Was Pollard an Israeli when he was employed by the American government? Was Pollard not employed by the US Navy? Was Pollard an Israeli citizen when he was convicted in an American court for passing secrets he was not authorized to release to a foreign entity? I personally believe as long as the Israeli government presses for his release, he should rot, however if they don't press we should release him contingent that he is paroled in the US and agrees not to talk to the press or foreign agents. We shall call that the VANUNU ACT. Leave our American citizens alone regardless of his religion or new found citizenship.
6. Can't WAIT to hear what he has found out about NETANYAHU....
Zigler ,   Israel   (01.07.14)
He tells his voters one thing and does the exact opposite.....!!!!!!!
7. Boy, is he loving the attention or what !

8. Greenwald's motives are finally clear
steve from raleigh   (01.08.14)
When something happens to Snowden he'll blame it on the Jews.
9. Pollard
Sam ,   USA   (01.08.14)
It's only natural for Jews to want their brother released. Every Jew has biblical ties to Israel regardless of citizenship. Its in their DNA.
10. Snowden is an actor, it's just an act.
JMK ,   NYC   (01.08.14)
He has given up nothing of value. Remember the spy movie The Falcon and the Snowman and the winter cartoon Snowden the Snowman.

"What will Putin do after the asylum agreement has been violated"? Hold his breath and hope Snowden doesn't have a larger file on Putin. Putin's lovin' this... So are we. Interesting that Snowden is offered amnesty and Pollard isn't. When's obama's impeachment? BUILD FASTER !!!!
12. Pollard never spied on America, only on Muslim enemies

13. Is it?
(01.08.14)
America that does not open the prison gates of its prisoners that want Israel to released Palis prisoners?
14. SharePoint administrator
Ezra ,   San Diego   (01.08.14)
From what I heard he was a Microsoft SharePoint administrator. A web/file server admin; all the secret files were stored there. He copied them, then left. He probably has gigs of stuff still in his possession.
15. Snowden
gregg bowman ,   parksville, Canada   (01.08.14)
One day little Snowden is going to disappear!! warm regards, Gregg Bowman
16. The incompetence is real.
JVC ,   LA, USA   (01.08.14)
CJK, unless you have been on the inside or know one of its honest employees, you simply would not believe the incompetence of the US federal civilian government. Some agencies work well, some barely function. Morale at many is dismal. Managers (GS 12/13 and up) get up by kissing butt and throwing everyone else under the bus. This whole matter may look orchestrated but to conscientious federal employees it looks like business as usual, with the exception that this story has global implications and went viral. The NSA analysts reading this are nodding their heads.

The big players (China, Russia, Pakistan, drug-lords, AQ) were not interested in Snowden's revelations. They know how to hide their own activities and they use the same built-in weaknesses that NSA uses to spy. Snowden was hired because he was perceived as safe: amoral, no ideology and no chance of ever getting such a great job with such a great salary. They did not believe that Snowden would give up being one of the big people for the sake of the Constitution.
18. SnowDen or SnowDone?
Tim ,   Brighton   (01.08.14)
We cant forget that BUT for some brave Whistle Blowers in the past injustices and crimes would never have been revealed These Whistle Blowers have uncovered at much risk to themselves matters that they have been closely involved with or been touched by one way or the other BUT Snowden is NOT a Whistle Blower. He purely and simply is a Traitor to his Country. Stealing vast amounts of Secret Data just to bask in self seeking publicity and power play And the sheer self righteous arrogance when he pronounces that he is messianicly ‘doing this for the good of the world’ Because none of his so called Leaks nor his utterly crass Ramblings has made the tiniest difference to International Relations and Well Being - only in some cases to put lives of others at real risk SnowDen? More like SnowDone
19. The U.S. has overplayed
ex-frummie ,   Johannesburg S.A.   (01.08.14)
its hand regarding Pollard. His incredibly long incarceration was to punish Israel for daring to spy on its main ally. With the Snowden revelations this hypocrisy has been laid bare. Now with less than two years left on his sentence, they have no leverage to try manipulate Israel in order to gain his release. He continues to be a tax burden to the hard working American public and should be immediately released. And due to the Snowden revelations, any promises Israel made to not spy on the U.S. can now legitimately be broken.

Brighton, that is in England? You are a British SUBJECT and you do what your master lets you. In America, we the people are sovereign. That is why we kicked you out of our country. The government works for us and the government must follow the law. What is important is that Snowden showed that the government was breaking the law. The only people who are traitors are those who knowingly violated the Constitution.

No kiddin, forgot Rosenbergs and Pollard, unlike those listed above Snowden didn't pass any list with our inteligence assets on foreign soil or compromise our technology secrets giving us upper hand over Soviets. By the way almost all of our agents in Soviet bloc ended up on the end of the rope or in front of execution squads ,...
22. sniff, sniff
Toledano Jean-Pierre ,   Israel   (01.08.14)
sniff, sniff,... I smell the FSB (ex-KGB) around our Snowden. The old Russian (USSR) ennemy try again to put the USA, Israel,... in a bad light using Mr. Snowden. Or,... Mr. Snowden was already long time ago working for.... Reminder(s): the Cambridge Five, Aldrich Ames, Robert Hanssen,... were doing many years their moles work before they were discovered by their employers.

Greenwald is Jewish.
24. #21, spit. Always gets it wrong.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.08.14)
you little punk Pollard never revealed secrets about US therefore committed no treason against America. The Rosenbergs were Communists framed in the McCarthy-induced paranoia era and the real culprits were the physicists Ted Hall and Klaus Fuchs, both based at Los Alamos. BTW, judge Irving Kaufman sentencing the Rosenbergs to death was Jewish too.

they were hanged thanks to Aldrich Ames.

"Pollard never revealed secrets about US therefore committed no treason against America" ,... Obviously ;) Coincidentally after Pollard's arrest US changed all satellite intelligence and military communication codes, replaced propellers in submarines and hell knows what else costing us billions not to mention that dozens upon dozens US intelligence assets in Soviet Union and Soviet Bloc got arrested and executed. Obviously Rosenbergs were persecuted because they were Jews not because they were a traitors ;) ,... By the way pinhead after Soviet fall their archives proved that McCarthy was right and your commie homies were Stalin's V-th column in US.
