According to Reuters: The United States pressured Hong Kong on Saturday to act quickly on its request to extradite Edward Snowden, a former U.S. National Security Agency contractor charged with espionage for exposing secret U.S. surveillance activities.
I'm just speculating, but here is what I think:
Snowden had a horrible childhood. Parents divorced. Nobody wanted him. Very dysfunctional.He Never succeeded at anything. Failed in school, in the Army, at jobs. Always Lied about his resume.
He went to Reporters Poitras and Greenwald with some bogus government info from Dell. They knew it was stupid information, but also viewed Snowden as a great pawn. Greenwald convinced Snowden to ditch Dell and somehow, Greenwald helped Snowden get hired by an inside informer from Booz Allen. (Greenwald previously trashed Mike McConnell so he probably had an inside informant at Booz Allen.)
As I continue to speculate, once Snowden was hired by Booz Allen, Greenwald must have manipulated Snowden to download specific data from Booz Allen.
Snowden (the dropout) had NO CLUE as to what he was stealing, he blindly gave the requested information to Greenwald and to the other New York media outlets. These media outlets are now controlling this stolen data and publishing it willy nilly.
As I continue to speculate, Greenwald connived Snowden and arranged for Snowden to be spirited away to Hong Kong. There is no government protection, merely Greenwald's blind promise to protect the very naïve, unloved, easily-used and blindly trusting Snowden.
It is clear that Greenwald made Snowden his stooge.
Now Greenwald portrays himself at being up in arms, flailing, attempting to protect Stooge Snowden.
Greenwald is beginning to understand he is toast. He knows his own crimes. (Starting with espionage and Treason for his role in exposing Military Secrets to the Opposition.)
The FBI has, through the Patriot Act, ALL the records, phone and email, needed to convict Snowden and his co-conspirators..
IF Greenwald assisted this Traitor, he will be exposed and he knows it. He jeopardized the fate of America all for the sake of an exclusive headline.
Does anyone, ANYONE believe that Hong Kong will protect those that expose Military Secrets?
Update 6/23/2013: Hong Kong quickly purged themselves of Snowden. Now Snowden has fled to Russia. (Russia!?!). Greenwald just said he is en route to another location... possibly Venezuela. Some think Iceland.

Edward Snowden REVEALED and the CORE QUESTIONS the Media is NOT Asking! SEE THE QUESTIONS HERE!!
The media is in a frenzy over the Edward Snowden - NSA story. Snowden revealed Confidential NSA Security information that he swore an oath he would never divulge. Those that agree with Snowden call him a Whistleblower and Hero. Those that disagree with him call him a Traitor who deserted our Country and a Domestic Terrorist who is endangering the lives of Americans.
The information on this story is varied, depending on the media outlet. What is amazing is, this is a bi-partisan story. Republicans and Democrats are for and against Snowden's actions. Michael Moore is siding with Glenn Beck. Mike Rodgers (Republican Chairman of House Intelligence Committee) is siding with President Obama.
I decided to do some research so I could decide for myself how I felt about this issue. I created this timeline to allow you, my readers to see, in a nutshell, the Life of Edward Snowden. In compiling this information, I found Questions the Media is NOT asking. I am very curious WHY they are not asking these questions. (see end of this article for questions)
Edward Snowden was born in 1983 in North Carolina. At age 9, his family moved to Maryland, a community comprised of Federal and CIA employees. Snowden was a non-achiever. He dropped out of High School in 10th grade. His parents had a difficult marriage and divorced when Snowden was 18. His Dad moved to Pennsylvania. His mom stayed in Maryland. Snowden moved to his own apartment near his mom. His mom paid the rent. Snowden loved video games and took some Community College courses. He also practiced karate. At 19, he was hired as the on-line tech for Ryuhana Press which specialized in on-line anime art. He joined several IT forums. In May 2004, when he was 21, he decided to join the Army. He wanted to be in the Green Beret and go to Iraq. He failed training and the Army discharged him in September 2004. He claimed he broke both of his legs, but the Army said there's no record of it.
He moved back to his Maryland community and was hired as a Security Guard at the University of Maryland -- which has affiliations with the CIA. And, because of his computer skills, was hired as a tech for CIA Network Security. From 2007 - 2009, the CIA sent him to Geneva, again as a tech in Network Security. Snowden said he became disillusioned about the government invading people's privacy and quit. It was around this time that he bragged on-line about how his computer skills enabled him to get high paying jobs even with his limited education. Later in 2009, he worked as an NSA Military Contractor with Dell in Japan. He also commented on line that he loved travel and he loved Japan. In on-line forums he continued to complain about government invading privacy, yet at the same time, bragging about his travel, salary and lack of education/no Student Loans.
In January, 2013, he contacted Laura Poitras who was well known for her documentary about the famous government whistle-blower "Daniel Ellsberg." Low achiever Snowden fancied himself another Daniel Ellsberg. News reports also indicate that in February, 2013 Snowden met with Glenn Greenwald from the Guardian.
After these meetings, Snowden left his contractor job at Dell and in April, 2013, he joined Booz, Allen, Hamilton. In early May, Snowden copied 3 laptops full and several thumb drives full of Top Secret Confidential files. Then, on May 20, he flew to Hong Kong to meet with Glenn Greenwald who was the first reporter to cover the story.
Now here's an interesting side note: Back in 2010, Greenwald wrote an article titled: "Mike McConnell, the WashPost & the dangers of sleazy corporatism." In this article, he wrote about Booz, Allen and "a political culture drowning in hidden conflicts of interests, exploitation of political office for profit, and a rapidly eroding wall separating the public and private spheres."
Another interesting side note: In December, 2012, just one month before Snowden went to Poitras and Greenwald, a group of high-profile journalists and free-speech activists launched the "Freedom of the Press Foundation." Here is where this story gets really interesting: Both Poitras and Greenwald are FOUNDING MEMBERS. Daniel Ellsberg is ALSO a Founding Member.
Now here is where my Questions come in:
"Why Did Edward Snowden Leave NSA Contractor Dell and start working for Booz, Allen?"
"Were there better Confidential/Security Secrets at Booz, Allen than he had at Dell?"
"Was there a better story created by secrets revealed at Booz, Allen?"
"How did Snowden get hired so quickly into Booz, Allen?"
"Did someone provide him contacts? References?"
"Did someone coach him to do this?"
"Who influenced him to do this and why?"
"Is Edward Snowden being used?" "Is he a pawn?"
"Why isn't the media asking these questions?"
I don't have an agenda and I don't have the answers to these questions.
Right now, I'm just CURIOUS why these obvious questions are not being asked by anyone.
