I won't quote much, but I can't resist sharing this: "And it’s a matter of record that Ed [Snowden] trusted his life to Tor, because he saw from the other side that it worked."
Huh? 'trusted his life', how? It's a matter of record that you are quoting a guy making a baseless assertion in some random blog.
He initially reached out to Glenn and Laura via Tor (Tails, as I recall reading). If the NSA has totally pwned Tor, they would arguably have detected that. We know that they focus on encrypted stuff, and one would hope that they monitor their staff and consultants. But then, maybe it's all bullshit. I certainly have no inside info.
I wonder what the haters say to that. Actually, I know: "He's a double agent, and it's all a con." Amirite?
Snowden keeps sounding like an american nationalist. That's a big red flag.
He's clearly an American nationalist. He's said repeatedly that he released stuff through reporters, rather than directly, in order to reduce the risk of hurting US interests. Is that a "red flag"? I would have rather seen it all, but de gustibus non est disputandem ;)
