this man snowden stole untold numbers of highly classified secrets from the us and then transferred them to enemy states. he belongs in prison for the rest of his miserable life. he imagines himself a saviour, indeed, the second coming. what is most interesting is how this man snowden was able to get a job with the cia, and how he could find a job with nsa, despite his attrocious intelligence record. where does the buck stop? how could a young high school drop out get hired by the cia and when caught in illegal activities, get hired by the nsa? he is without doubt protected. if pollard did half of what this snowden did, he would hang from a lamp post.

He was chosen exactly because someone like him could never dream of getting such a well-paid job. The mistake was that his handlers never dreamed that Snowden would love the United States and their Constitution more than money and his own freedom.

is if he'd had the gumption to hold a press conference and air his information in the U.S., rather than fleeing like the miserable little weasel he is.

Let him return to the U.S. for his victory parade.

Snowden saw what Obama did to previous whistleblowers and realized he had no other way to stop the NSA breaking the law. At every step, Snowden begged the Obama administration to treat him like a whistleblower and take care of the NSA crimes. All he got was calls for his execution.

Whether you take him alive or shoot out of the skies, that's your deal. I would prefer latter... The testing moment was when he was asked to write a book about US wrongfull spying. He sais "what is wrongfull about that"?
