I think this is a response to the recent TED talk where the same question was asked: [VIDEO] The host provides the theory that the vote is not biased based on left or right wing beliefs.

Your own link contradicts your definition: In the field of counterintelligence, a double agent (also double secret agent) is an employee of a secret intelligence service, whose primary purpose is to spy on a different target organization, but who, in fact, is a member of the target organization. In other words, if Snowden worked for the NSA and spied on China or Russia, but at the same time was passing information over to China or Russia, he would then be a double agent. That's why it's so fishy when he repeatedly says that he specifically used to work on Chinese targets (for example: [1]), chose to flee the US and go to China, and his 3rd leak in the news was giving a Chinese newspaper a list of all of Chinese computers that had been targeted by the NSA[2]. That doesn't mean he's a double-agent, but it certainly raises some eyebrows... [1] [VIDEO] [2] [LINK]
