What wonderful news. Intelligence whistleblower Edward Snowden has been installed as rector at Glasgow University. The former US National Security Agency contractor fled from his homeland last May after revealing extensive details of internet and phone surveillance. The 30-year-old is currently staying in Russia, where he has temporary asylum. Speaking via a video link from Russia, Mr Snowden said he was honoured to take up the post but could not attend as he was not allowed in the UK.

Because as little love as our government has for its Constitutional limitations, it still isn't quite ready to make a habit of executing citizens without trial.Originally posted by seer View PostDon't call it a comeback. It's a riposte.Comment

Yes, "we" did, and it's only one entry on a long list of unconstitutional acts by this president.
Snowden's certainly done more that's worthy of this honorary position of rector than Obama did with respect to the Nobel Peace Prize.Don't call it a comeback. It's a riposte.Comment

I'm glad that a Snowden happened - even if nothing substantial changes from it.Comment

He wouldn't feel like he could get away with such acts if Obummer wasn't such a "tolerant" (Buzzword), compulsively lying, little wimp, who lost the support of his people a long time ago.Originally posted by seer View PostBetter to illuminate than merely to shine, to deliver to others contemplated truths than merely to contemplate.

I see that in 2005, the politically astute Glasgow University students elected another whistle blower, one Mordechai Vanunu after he was released from 18 years of imprisonment for spilling the beans on the secret Israeli nuclear weapons program. Vanunu said he suffered "cruel and barbaric treatment" at the hands of Israeli authorities while imprisoned, and suggests that his treatment would have been different if he had not converted to Christianity from Judaism.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde

He is technically a traitor to the State. Whether this makes him a traitor to the historic American Nation is another question entirely.Originally posted by Bill the Cat View Post
