Syria – Question: Is Anyone Else Noticing The Absence of Snowden Discussions With Russian/U.S./Syria Issues….

I keep wondering when Edward Snowden’s risk to U.S. intelligence will surface in the discussions surrounding Russia, the U.S. and Syria.   {{crickets}}

Russia must be getting some value from harboring Snowden.   Snowden holds many understandings of the U.S. approaches to intelligence gathering, and I’ve yet to see any discussion about what advantage Putin may have from such knowledge.
It just seems odd.

Protecting Dear Leader – Time Magazine Manipulates American Cover Article, Rest of World Gets Actual Version…

The level the U.S. media will go to protect their chosen one is laughable.   Time magazine hides the “Strong Putin Weak Obama” cover story in America;  Puts out alternate cover story to protect Obama.

But Time’s editors are shielding Americans from the demoralizing picture,  putting a cheerful, sky-blue photo on the covers of magazines distributed in the  United States. “It’s time to pay college athletes,” says the chirpy, non-political U.S. cover, which shows a ball-carrying football  player with arm outstretched.  (continue reading)

UNITED NATIONS — Careful not to blame either side for a deadly chemical weapon attack, U.N. inspectors reported Monday that rockets loaded with the nerve agent sarin had been fired from an area where Syria’s military has bases, but said the evidence could have been manipulated in the rebel-controlled stricken neighborhoods.
The U.S., Britain and France jumped on evidence in the report – especially the type of rockets, the composition of the sarin agent, and trajectory of the missiles – to declare that President Bashar Assad’s government was responsible.
Russia, Syria’s closest ally, called the investigators’ findings “deeply disturbing,” but said it was too early to draw conclusions. The Syrian government’s claims that opposition forces were responsible for the attack “cannot be simply shrugged off,” Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin insisted. (more…)
