man it just hit me, the snowden guy is kindof in the same position coondor was in at the end of the movie. i caught this when redford turned and walked off and robertson said 'where will you go?'

yeah i see similarities.

do you?

Hmm, not sure but I don't think the CIA / NSA / FBI / AARP / GOP murdered six of Snowden's coworkers.

no friend, i meant the life condor was to lead after the movie had ended, not that snowden lived the plot of the cia book reader.

Snowden is nothing like Condor. Snowden Is a traitor and a coward, he didn't do it for the good of the country.

I think the official statement for Condor would be exactly the same.

Precisely.

Condor isn't doing anything wrong . . . he's simply going about his business . . . all right, he does a report that rifles some feathers, but that was his job . . . the case with Snowden is very different . . .

The only thing you know about Snowden is what TPTB tell you about Snowden.

And the only reason you realize that Condor hasn't done anything wrong is that you saw the movie.

In real life, Condor would be smeared (as he was) by the gov't and in the media. And you would believe that, too.

Wrong . . .we would never have heard of Turner (Condor)or any of it . . . okay, so why is Snowden getting all this free publicity? That's the mystery to some . . .

[–] PrometheusTree64 10 years ago

So now you're implying Snowden is actually a stooge for the intelligence community?

I've heard some people suggest that, but doesn't that contradict your original point about him?

Snowden is hardly a coward, he knows he may be killed or abducted and returned to live the rest of his life in prison. Watch CitizenFour.

It's hard to imagine the dweebish Snowden being capable of any of the stuff Redford does in this film.
