Snowden, hero or stooge? (npr.or

(AP) Bolivian President Evo Morales said he would grant asylum, if requested, to former U.S. intelligence agency contractor and purported whistleblower Edward Snowden. He is alleged to have revealed documents proving that the U.S. illegally spies on Americans in America (contrary to the NSA's authority) and on European Union partner nations. It may even be spying on "enemy" states, but that seems less likely. Mission 1: eliminate whistleblowers who reveal  U.S. crimes and international law violations because, after all, this is a WHAM (war for hearts and minds). Snowden may simply be a stooge or plant aiding in the revelation of secrets the military-industrial complex finds too big to contain. This planned revelation obviates any surprises in the event actual whistleblowers get any ideas.
