> For his claim "YOU’RE STILL GONNA BE MOSSAD’ED UPON" I still don't know how to interpret the fact that Snowden seems to be relatively fine. Maybe that he had the idea about the blind spots of the system in which he worked.

What reason would any agency have to un-live Snowden? Any damage he has done was already done in HK and before; he has nothing more to reveal. It would only turn public opinion against the agencies.



True that it would hurt public opinion even further of the agencies if they were to take him out - but I thought he only revealed a portion of what he grabbed.


My understanding is that he handed everything off to the journalists.


Yes, for precisely the reason that he did not want to be the arbiter of what is released. That's probably why he's still alive. It was a good decision
