Jeez, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden is a Ron Paul supporter. So someone who is anti-government leaks information that we should probably have already known and it's trumped by Glenn Greenwald and a foreign paper as evidence that the U.S. is a government run amok...and then he defects to a country that is, in theory, under the control of China, a far more oppressive regime than anything the U.S. has ever imagined.
Ed Snowden, 29, has outed himself as the man who leaked NSA intelligence. He claims he wants no personal publicity, but acted out of principle—he feels the U.S. government's intelligence-gathering has become abusively broad.
He has fled to Hong Kong, where he hopes he will be safe from extradition and prosecution for his nearly unprecedented (in scale) act.
