Not Often I Gloat Over a Death...

...but in the case of John Walker Jr., I'm willing to make an exception.

Enjoy your afterlife in the Ninth Circle of Hell, traitor.

Cressida Dick Is Unhappy

"After Snowden Revelations, a Changed World for Journalists."

The UK Guardian newspaper, that published the Snowden leaks, met with members of Parliament. The police were there too, in the person of one Cressida Dick.

He'll Be Crying To Come Home In Six Months

"Putin Says Snowden Can Stay in Russia ‘If He Wants To’ – But Only If He Stops Damaging US."

I've seen this sort of narcissistic behavior before, back in the mid-1980's when I was living in Spain. During that time period there was a soldier in Germany that defected to the USSR - - the dumbass couldn't cope with military life and, rather than accept the options available - - serve out his time and get an honorable discharge, or be a shitbird and exit under a general or bad conduct discharge - - he decided that a third option was available, to defect to the USSR as a victim of oppression. The Soviets obligingly accepted him, and ran tests to see what sort of work he was suited for. Since he'd had pet reptiles as a teen the Soviets sent him to a venom lab to spend his days milking deadly snakes to make antivenin. This not being what he had envisioned when he defected - - he apparently thought he'd be given a Black Sea dacha (estate) and a pension of some sort - - he soon began clamoring to return to US custody and a nice Army jail cell. He was obligingly turned over by the Soviets to the Army, where he served a term in the brig and was given a Dishonorable Discharge.

I fully expect Snowden to be treated the same way - - once the interrogators in the FSSR (KGB's current title) extract all the information they can, of course.

Hell, If They'd Let Him Make a YouTube Video...

...it might be a bigger hit than "Gangnam Style."

[Daniel Choike, installation commander of the Quantico, Va., Marine Corps base] said [WikiLeaks leaker Bradley] Manning’s custody status was determined in part by his odd behavior, including licking the bars of his cell, “erratic dancing” and lifting invisible weights. Coombs suggested that the bar-licking occurred during sleepwalking and that the other behaviors were merely exercise.

Names Change, Spying Stays The Same

US Diplomat, suspected of being CIA, caught in a "honeytrap" sting with footage possibly released onto the internet by the FSB, the successor to the KGB.

For those of you unfamiliar with international espionage, a honeytrap, also called a venus trap, is a technique in which a diplomat's/spy's sexual weakness is preyed upon, either directly by an agent, or indirectly via third parties such as prostitutes. Information derived from the honeytrap can come either voluntarily via boasting, unguarded revelation, etc., or involuntarily (blackmail). The Russians are experts at this, and the Chinese have been engaging in it, too. In the old days when homosexuality was less tolerated than in modern times it was quite easy to arrange homosexual honeytraps, also.
