If a Chinese intel officer landed in Guam, claimed to have secrets on China's domestic security, we would assume the CIA would visit quickly
@mattapuzzo Yes. But China presumably knows what Snowden has, whereas we wouldn't.

@emptywheel they don't know what is in his brain -
@mattapuzzo There are least reasons to believe that Snowden has a surface understanding of what he's seen. -
@emptywheel nevertheless, a knowledge of our system architecture is valuable. You can't suggest they wouldn't even "talk" to him -
@mattapuzzo Not suggesting that. Suggesting that China might find Snowden more useful as a way to tie us in knots and embarrass us. -
@emptywheel agreed. My bet is there's more benefit to them to watch and see who visits -
@mattapuzzo Prolly a great bet. If this manhunt is like the Assange one, it'll be heavy handed and sloppy.

@emptywheel@mattapuzzo How do you figure that? -
@realtundey Cause they are so successful hacking us.@mattapuzzo -
@emptywheel@mattapuzzo And you think we aren't successful hacking them? -
@realtundey I think they're better at keeping secrets. And keeping secrets off networks we can get to.@mattapuzzo
