Since about a year, money for Snowden has been collected via wikileaks.
I was almost certain Greenwald had gotten a royalty advance for his book. You mean the journalist is doing this gratuitously? That might give a different spin on this ongoing narrative.

I meant Snowden would never be given any real access to anything remotely sensitive regarding computers in which his talent lay and would be watched most carefully, simply because of the damaging embarrassment he's caused the US, the land of his birth.
Snowden's temporary asylum in Russia is a master stroke of good luck for Putin.

**"He [Snowden] is, at this stage, not a free agent but a tool of Russian intelligence—and of Putin himself—even if he doesn’t know it. He is in the country because his presence embarrasses the United States and because his disclosures serve Russian interests. He is doing things there that help Russia and he is refraining from doing things that offend his hosts. People without some kind of relationship with the security services simply don’t find themselves calling in and throwing softball questions to Vladimir Putin on Russian television. And people without some kind of relationship with the security services also don’t tend to have as their lawyers for asylum Kremlin loyalists who also happen to be members of the ( Russian Federal Security Service) FSB’s oversight board."**http://able2know.org/topic/217301-371
