While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” the Federal court for the eastern district of virginia (the “hanging” district) hands down United states v. Snowden: judge Liam O’Grady awards all proceeds from the sale of his book Permanent Record to the U.s. treasury, as Snowden did not submit his manuscript to the Central Intelligence Agency for redaction, before publication.

       Question: Had Snowden complied with his contractual obligations would the CIA have left him with anything to publish?
