American super-patriot to Putin: Russia doesn’t conduct mass surveillance like the U.S. does, right? « Hot Air: "Only two possibilities here. One: There’s an FSB agent out of frame with a gun pointed at Snowden’s head, just to make sure that he reads the cue card as written.

Two: He’s doing this cheerfully, either at Putin’s request as a condition of his asylum or at his own request, to exploit a Putin press conference as a way to further needle the NSA.
