Snowden when asked about German intel and the NSA: an "intimate" relationship… undermining his own self-interest in the public interest.

@asteris I'm sure the Germans are not thrilled he is exposing their hypocrisy over spying "shock" -
@giantpandinha at any rate, Germans I talked to last weekend were thrilled (besides being horrified, and well aware) that he exposed it -
@asteris Those are not the Germans who are going to help get him the hell out of Russia -
@giantpandinha do you really think that the Merkel govt would grant him asylum if he were to shut up about the BND's transgressions? -
@asteris I think anybody in his position would be thinking in terms of the number of years/decades he will be stuck -
@giantpandinha and he probably is. But he'd undermine his position even more severely if he were to start cutting gag deals -
@asteris Please Asteris let's be capable of a little more nuance than talking about "gag deals"
