【新唐人2013年06月18日讯】有越来越多的人，对泄密的前美国中央情报局雇员爱德华•斯诺登(Edward Snowden) ，发出质疑。同时，美国国会提出，要彻底调查斯诺登跟中共的关系。美国联邦调查局局长罗伯特•米勒表示，美国联邦调查局（FBI）已经开始对斯诺登展开刑事调查。而华裔作家章家敦更大胆猜测：斯诺登是“双面间谍”。美国前副总统切尼也怀疑：斯诺登是中共间谍。
《中国即将崩溃》的作者，美籍华裔作家章家敦对《福布斯》新闻网表示，斯诺登选择藏身香港，香港跟美国有引渡协议，并且有密切合作的传统。这意味着，能阻挡斯诺登进监狱的唯一力量是北京。
章家敦对《新唐人》表示，斯诺登曝光美国国家安全局“棱镜”监听计划的时间点令人质疑。他说，斯诺登第一次泄密，正好选在美国总统欧巴马会见中共新领导人习近平的前夕。他认为，这破坏了欧巴马关于网络安全的整个谈话。而斯诺登最近一次泄漏有关国家安全局刺探香港和中国的运作细节，这些信息只会帮助北京。
美籍华裔作家章家敦：“ 因为他不仅仅是谈论监控，他在给中共或公开披露，因此给予中共信息，它们是技术细节性的，比如IP地址，美国国安局在查看什么，他们在监控什么服务器，这些信息对中共情报机构之外的任何人都没有用。对于泄密者，这个概念来说，这样做完全没有必要。”
章家敦相信，斯诺登要在这么短的时间里，并且从一个大多数人认为不太可能的位置上，获得这么多数据是非常困难的。而居住在纽约的“中国基督徒民主党”发言人陆东认为，中共很有可能策划斯诺登做间谍，因为中共就是利用这个事件，来反击美国对中共网络攻击的指控。
纽约中国基督徒民主党发言人陆东：“中共利用斯诺登，策反斯诺登，到香港去对美国的国家安全网络监控进行攻击，他的要害就是为了给他自己对网络攻击美国，被美国所揭露以后的一个反击。因为斯诺登事件跟奥习会是完全相关的，跟奥习会完全是同步进行的。奥习会的要点就是网络攻击问题。”
在斯诺登曝光美国国安局所谓“棱镜”的监控计划之后，在美国人当中引发不同反应。
《路透社》6月12号发布的“益普索民意调查”显示，45%受访者表示，在特定情况下可以接受监视项目，37%表示完全不能接受，只有6%的受访者表示完全可以接受。而陆东在采访中表示﹕支持美国“棱镜计划”。
陆东：“这套监控不但是应该的，而且是必须的。因为这套监控并不是说要监控美国公民的日常生活。它只是把很多资料存档，但是一旦这个人出现特务嫌疑，出现跟外国政府频繁的联系，那么我们就可以，回过头来用这些档案来查这个案件。就像我们在十字路口马路上有监控器一样。”
美国前副总统切尼6月16号在“福克斯周日新闻”早间节目中，也为美国的监控项目辩护，他说，“这一间谍项目已经挽救了美国人民的性命，使我们免受袭击”。切尼在节目中还批评斯诺登为“卖国贼”。他认为﹕斯诺登有可能是中共的间谍。他说，斯诺登泄密后逃往香港，显然是要向中共泄露更透的情报。他说，“如果你对自由充满向往的话，你是不会选择去中国的。所以问题就出来了，泄密之前，他是否就和中共串通一气了呢。”
美国《彭博》通讯社引述美国官员的话说，调查员将使用“棱镜计划”，来审阅斯诺登的所有电子邮件，短信，网上发帖，电话和其他通讯。而且，调查员将探查有关斯诺登的财务状况，和搜寻任何色情陷阱或勒索的证据，他们说，中共和其他国家仍然使用这些技术来招募美国人和其他人员。

Is Snowden the leaker or a double agent
More and more people are questioning the leaker,
Edward Snowden, a former CIA employee.
While the U.S. Congress claims to have thoroughly
investigated his relationship with the Chinese Communist
Party (CCP), Director Robert Mueller claimed that the US
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has begun a criminal investigation into Snowden.
The writer Gordon Chang doubts that
Snowden might be a double agent.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney suspects
Snowden was a Chinese spy all along.
The author of The Coming Collapse of China,
Gordon Chang, spoke on Fox News Radio regarding
Snowden’s decision to flee to Hong Kong “[that] has
an extradition agreement with the United States.”
Chang explained, “Hong Kong authorities have been…
working very well with the U.S.”
“…and the only reason I can think of is that
China will prevent it,” he said.
Gordon Chang told NTDTV that Snowden’s timing
of the NSA PRISM plan exposure is questionable.
He said Snowden’s first leak was right before the meeting
of President Obama and CCP leader Xi Jinping.
He believes that this would have changed Obama’s
entire conversation regarding cyber security with Xi,
and that Snowden’s recent leaks about the NSA’s
Hong Kong and China operational details will help Beijing.
Chinese-American writer Gordon Chang:
“Because he’s not just talking about surveillance,
he is giving to the Chinese, or disclosing in public,
and therefore giving the Chinese information,
which is technical and detailed, such as
the IP addresses that the NSA is supposedly looking at,
you know, which servers they are surveilling.
This is not information which is useful to anyone
except for Chinese intelligence and the Chinese
security services, and it’s completely unnecessary
for this whole concept of being whistleblower."
Gordon Chang believes that it would have been very difficult
for Snowden, in his position, to get so much data in such a short time.
Spokesman for NY Chinese Christian Democratic Party,
Lu Dong, thinks it is likely that the CCP planned
Snowden’s spying, because the CCP is using this event
to counter the U.S. allegations of cyber attacks against the Chinese Communists.
Lu Dong: “The CCP used Snowden, and he planned
to go to Hong Kong to attack the NSA PRISM plan.
The key point is that the CCP wants to fight the US’
accusations of China using cyber espionage to modernize its military.
The Snowden event is totally related to the meeting
between Obama and Xi Jinping, one step before the meeting.
The core topic of the meeting was cyber security."
Snowden’s exposure of NSA PRISM plan caused
varying reactions among Americans.
On June 12th, Reuters’ release of Ipsos Poll shows that
45% of respondents said that the NSA monitoring
is acceptable under certain circumstances,
37% said that it’s totally unacceptable,
and only 6% of respondents said it’s entirely acceptable.
During the interview with Lu Dong, he said he personally
supports the US’ PRISM plan.
Lu Dong: “This monitoring is necessary, because this
is not monitoring the everyday life of American citizens.
It’s only archiving a lot of data.
Once a spy suspect appears to be having
frequent contact with foreign governments,
it’s easier to investigate using the information on file,
just like we have monitors at intersections to catch violators."
On June 16th, on the Fox News Sunday program,
Former Vice President Dick Cheney defended
the NSA Surveillance Program saying,
“I think it’s good that it is in operation.
I think it has, in fact, saved lives and kept us free
from other attacks.”
Dick Cheney also call Snowden a “traitor."
He said, “Snowden may be a CCP spy.”
“That’s not a place (China) where you ordinarily want to go
if you’re interested in freedom, and liberty and so forth.
So, it raises questions whether or not he had that kind
of connection before he did this.”
Bloomberg News quoted U.S. officials as saying that
the investigators will use the PRISM plan to review all
of Snowden’s email, SMS, online postings, telephone
and other communications.
Investigators will probe Snowden’s finances and search
for any evidence of sexual entrapment or extortion.
They say the Chinese Communists and other countries
still use these techniques to recruit Americans and other personnel.
