The Amazing Adventures of Beijing Eddie: Hong Kong loves their Eddie...Meanwhile China looks to use this to their advantage..

Politicians were asking for answers from the Obama administration on Thursday about allegations from an American computer analyst that a U.S. secret surveillance program hacked into Hong Kong computer systems. 
Two political parties staged separate protests at the U.S. Consulate on Thursday, with the New Forum demonstrating against the alleged U.S. hacking in Hong Kong and China and the League of Social Democrats voicing support for Edward Snowden.
About a dozen people showed up for the protests; a larger one is planned for Saturday. 
Civil Party leader Alan Leong Kah-kit said Snowden has raised a serious allegation and that Hong Kong should take the issue up with President Obama.

After several days of relative silence on the issue, Chinese state media Thursday highlighted revelations that the US government was engaged in widespread monitoring of Internet and telephone communications, carrying reports suggesting the disclosures could damage relations between the countries.
The disclosures come at an uncomfortable time for US officials, just after President Obama pressed for Beijing’s cooperation in curtailing Chinese cyberespionage.

One mainland newspaper, The Global Times, which is part of the Communist Party-run People’s Daily group, called for assertive Chinese action to confront Washington in the wake of Snowden’s revelations.
“Before the US government rushes to shut Snowden’s mouth, China also needs to seek an explanation from Washington,” the newspaper said in an editorial. “We are not bystanders. The issue of whether the US as an Internet superpower has abused its powers touches on our vital interests directly.”

Edward was an Infrastructure Analyst in HI for NSA at the ‘Bose Allen Hamilton’ company. He has been a systems engineer, systems administrator, senior adviser for the central intelligence agency, solutions consultant, and a telecommunications information systems officer.

Our American journalists' 'timed' their disclosures of how Obama seized phone records and email records of journalists with the visit of Turkey's Prime Minister to the White House, since he has a record high number of journalists in Turkey's prisons.

It is leverage for President Obama to have some explaining to do with that foreign minister.

This doesn't mean that Snowden is a traitor. I agree with Edward Snowden: if he was merely a traitor he wouldn't have done things this way.

Each day I hate this slimeball more and more. Now we have China gloating and playing the victim over this.

I am seeing Edward Snowden as a hero. As far as we know, he's dealing with heavy forces and threats. I've seen a female representative of Obama say with an angry, arrogant edge in her voice that the government can take Snowden any time they want. It made me shiver. The ugly voice of 1984.
