Hi, Roy Witt!
I read your message from  17.07.2013 11:36
about some stuff.

<skipped>
 RW> Whether the KGB agent returned to the USSR was a traitor or not
 RW> would be the opinion of the politburo or the KGB. However, with
 RW> that said, I doubt that any KGB agents returned from the USA to the
 RW> USSR would have been returned if there was any chance that they
 RW> would be considered to be traitors.

   Naturally, when the USSR and the US made a captured spies exchange
they didn't exchange traitors. They rescued only their valuable, staunch
agents. Neither the USSR nor the US couldn't get back their traitors,
because those people were valuable material for secret services.

 ak>> If he behaves himself correctly his secrets will guard him. And
 ak>> probably the US will understand that it is better to leave him
 ak>> alone.

 RW> He's tried to keep his information from being revealed, but that
 RW> may not last, depending on who has that information now.

   This information is just a scandalous information which tells the
world about methods of CIA and other similar organisations. Actually, it
doesn't couse a technical damage. The US is trying to catch Snowden not
because of his secrets, but because it wants to punish him. Punishment
is the only reason. Snowden didn't deal with the US' secret agent
network, he doesn't know American fixed-post spies across the world. All
he knows is the CIA policy to create a great database in which every
contact of every the US' citizen is fixed and stored. CIA knows all
friends and partners of all Americans. It is rather humiliating, I agree
with Snowden.

Bye, Roy!
