“Speaking as one professional spy to another . . . “

Edward Snowden, on live Russian TV, posed the following question to President Vladimir Putin yesterday: “Does Russia spy on its own citizens the way America does?”

I s-h-i-t you not. Check out the link above.

Mr Putin did not seem fazed by the question, or to find it unexpected. He smiled, and then replied “Speaking as one professional spy to another . . . “ he went on to reassure OUR spy that Russia’s actions are benign, and closely regulated by law.

Stop laughing. This really, really happened.

I tried to put myself in Edward Snowden's (snow) shoes. I get to ask a question of the scariest guy on earth, on live TV. What are my choices?

· “Any word when I can leave, sir? You said ‘maybe in the spring’ . . . ”

· “Why are you invading neighboring countries?”

· “Do you condone the massacre of civilians by Syria’s president Assad?”

· “Were those REAL Cossacks who horsewhipped that girl band Pussy Riot in Sochi, or just actors dressed up to look like Cossacks?”

· “What’s that constant humming day and night from apartment just above me?”

Actually, Snowden probably went with the safe choice, come to think of it. He wasn’t hit by a car a few hours later, or stabbed by a poison umbrella, after all.

America, this is your Pulitzer and Nobel peace prize nominee, in action. A man of courage, honesty, and principles.

Saw it on Al-Jazeera English, and just laughed when I read it...

i read last week that Al Jazeera America is laying off "hundreds" of employees. It seems viewers/ratings are not what was anticpated, and ad revenue is down. isn't this the network that they bought from Al Gore? I wonder if they have a "clawback" clause in the bill of sale, and can recover some of the purchase price if things deteriorate?

The problem with Al-Jazeera is the same problem that CNN and MSNBC suffer from and that is they have to split the viewership between them and stations like Link TV, and FreeSpeech TV...

Also they have a past that was painted by other News agencies as being Pro-Terrorist and anti_jewish or Israel which they are but their coverage is still sound and I like their opinion pieces because it take aim at both sides and not one when it come to American politics...

As for the selling of the News Station it was called something else and Al-Jazeera bought it and converted it to their American News Station while bringing those like O'Brien from CNN over to feature stories like racism in America...

So I figure Al-Jazeera will close up unless they can somehow attract the MSNBC crowd to their ratings, and have better access across the nation like CNN...

i've actually tuned into Al Jazeera America a few times. If they are interviewing some middle east figure that American networks would be unable to get access to.

the thing most people fail to realize is that the AJ America broadcasts are sanitized, and totally diferent than their arabic language ones. Just as their english print materials bear no relation to the arabic ones. Their arabic stuff is a wonderland of anti-semitism, holocaust denial, and hatred.

Very true that the two differences are seen... I use to watch Al Jazeera from Lebanon on Link and afterwards carch Mosaic News that gave you a round of news from other middle-Eastern countries and Israel, but once Al-Jazeera started it own station here ,and Link dumped Mosiac I stopped watching Link...

It is true there is a big difference, but most do not know this unless they've viewed both sites and notice the difference...

You mean--those Arabic stations are not bound by America-Israel propaganda, or the American lie machine, and feel a lot freer to report the truth? Of course, anyone who has not been exposed to other points of view, or experienced the truth outside of the American bubble, is going to see reporting from the other side of the American bubble as anti-Semitic, holocaust-denying, or hate-filled. Makes sense.

Yawn...

Which country had the most casulties during W.W.II?

How Chinese were slaught by Japan during W.W. II, and was it the second most killed in W.W. II and if so why was it not called a Genocide or ethnic cleansing?

Also read, and watching other news sources is a better way to discover what is really going on throughout the world...

Only someone close minded would view CNN, MSNBC, or Fox as non-partisan or open minded while the fact is Al-Jazeera is a solid source for news reporting...

What is amazing to me is you ability to spin something into bashing those Zionist Jews you hate so much, and I could lower myself into taunts at you but prefer to use just basic words instead and tell you they're not your enemy...

I know you have seen the world, and have been enlighten about the evils of the world by those you like to read on anti-Zionist websites, but in the real world the Zionist Jews is as dangerous as Obama, wait Obama is more dangerous because to some he's the Messiah, and to other the anit-Christ, and to me a idealist that can deliver on what he pledges to the American People...

What was so hard about what I wrote?

A few questions, and telling you those evil Zionist Jews are not the real evil you should fear...
