@emptywheel And what if you just saw it as Snowden playing his role in the propaganda of an incredibly repressive regime?

@WilsonValdez12 You're absolutely entitled to that opinion. Do you feel same abt even stupider Qs journos ask here? -
@emptywheel U cant tell me hedidn't already know the answer? are we expected to believe he's that naïve? Came off as nothing but kabuki. -
@WilsonValdez12 I don't know. Are you asserting that journos who ask even BIGGER softballs of Keith Alexander are naive? -
@emptywheel Can we stop w/ the false equivs and stick to the topic of today's "Q&A"? I raised fairly glaring pts...do u have any responses? -
@WilsonValdez12 Yes. I am asking you why you're holding Snowden to a FAR higher standard than journalists here meet. -
@emptywheel Ok, but that's not a response to the Q's...that's basically a non sequitur. Can you make a linear argument w/ direct answers? -
@WilsonValdez12 Why is it a non sequitur that journalists here can't even ask questions that are that tough? It's directly on point. - 1 more reply

@emptywheel i.. don't think the softball questions are exactly the focus of scorn -
@neilkli I was subtweeting specific tweets doing just that.

@emptywheel what if you're not an apologist, but still think the question was a bit absurd? :) -
@tweetsintheME That's perfectly fine. I admit it was a question almost as unproductive as Qs I criticize journos here asking of top spies. -
@emptywheel Yeah, especially when there is already information in the public sphere about Russian surveillance tech and programs.
