    He might have felt safer going all out public. Now the eyes of the world are on him. If he had just gone to congress, or a congressman. He may have ended up in an "accident".

    News reports say he is in Hong Kong, but he checked out of his hotel and has not been seen. Hmm

    China seems like a logical place to hide to be a hero of freedom.

    Remains to be seen. What he is saying is different from what others are saying.

    I would have said hero until he started telling the Chinese that we were spying on them. It's one thing to bring out this information about the government spying on Americans, it's another think to start giving the Chinese information. I think that is taking it too far and he should be prosecuted for that.

    I agree. You can bet the Chinese already knew but to confirm it was wrong. I believe we are and have been in a cyber war with the Chinese for quite awhile now though.

    Don't forget, they also find the gun 20 yards from the boulder they leave him slumped over.

    Still a suicide though
