Shame on the guardian for revealing his identity. After seeing what Obama has done to Bradley Manning How can they justify revealing this hero's identity?

(Manning is a hero imo, I mean we are always asking soldiers to stand up to their commanders when they are ordered to commit war crimes, and yet we punish this hero who exposed the time American gunships killed innocent Iraqis (including a reuters reporter) and laughed about it.)

How can Obama support imprisoning this hero.

I was like that too

But he gave them permission to give his identity

He might not personally, but he has to play the game

... the guy asked the guardian to reveal his identity.

From the moment he decided to disclose numerous top-secret documents to the public, he was determined not to opt for the protection of anonymity. "I have no intention of hiding who I am because I know I have done nothing wrong," he said.

he is holed up inside a hotel room in hong kong right now.

[Draz]

He's probably going to get killed.

[falc39]

You can tell from his interview and his tone.... dude was basically saying you can't run from the CIA. I think one of the reasons he went public with his identity is because it might actually help him survive/stay free if there is enough public backlash at the govt and enough people supporting him or willing to help

That one part where he said.... yeah, im in a hotel in hong kong and there is a cia office down the street translates to "im screwed"

Props to this man. Obama has turned out to be Bush 2.0

wonder if he'll get asylum in china

or if china will just deport him...

I bet Hong Kong will eventually deport him. I read he'd like to apply for asylum in Iceland.

Eh. China generally loves to show how little they care about western political pressure. Especially considering the high and mighty attitude "we" have in regards to China's imprisonment of state enemies, this guy might be a nice mascot of western tyranny for them.

Next time the US comes whining about Liu Xiaobo they can just point to this dude.

Yes, but this guy is nobody to them, I don't think they will risk polluting their diplomatic relationship with the US over this man.

[longhornfan1234]

Obama is a moderate Republican. I have been saying this for awhile. KevinNYC will try to debunk this soon.

That sounds exactly like China-US diplomacy to me. Both of them love to stick their fingers in each other's eye for no reason or than show who has the biggest manhood.

It's like when the US isn't afraid to risk polluting their relationship with China by presenting the utterly insignificant Dalai Lama with the international freedom medal (or some shit), or when China is not-so-secretly organizing massive hacking raids on US intelligence and starts taking bits of India just to gauge response.

China could just as easily throw the US a bone and get a little something in return, but going to China in this situation is a better bet than most if you ask me. Guy is fu[COLOR="Black"]cked[/COLOR] if the US gets a hold of him though.
