This guy, although well-intentioned, is a traitor. He may well have exposed some overreach of power by the NSA but much of it tempest in a teapot while undermining the serious efforts to thwart the real enemies. Anybody who is scared about the contents of his emails and phone conversations is probably the one they are looking for. As much as I couldn’t care less if anybody reads my sexts and mundane emails (anybody who still sends sensitive information through email deserves the consequences anyway), which I’m also pretty sure the NSA and CIA don’t care about anyhow (and don’t have the jurisdiction to prosecute any non-national-security malfeasance; to say nothing of inadmissibility as evidence in court without a warrant), it is disgusting that he is able to hide under the protection of a country that has all the motive to get as much classified information it could get while he has already exposed too much information that has already led to the failure of some anti-terror operations and may have also led to some deaths as attested to by a former assistant National Security Advisor (on Bill Maher’s show; I forget his name right now) who was able to examine what Snowden has exposed vis a vis his knowledge of classified information given his security clearance. If he is truly brave as he thinks he is, he should come home and face the charges without asking for immunity/clemency and accept the penalties for his crimes or fight them squarely as much as he thinks his actions were right and justified.
