He was hired by the NSA and given access to information and national security secrets that folks far above his pay grade have deemed to be in our national security to be keep secret.
He violated that trust he is a traitor pure and simple.
LOL you are beyond naive. The evil left has turned the NSA towards domestic spying. I am sure it's the tip of the ice berg on just what evils humans in our government are undertaking at the direction of the Obama and his Marxist cohorts.
If you have a chance, please listen to Levin's opening of his show tonight. Levin clearly explains how unconstitutional it is for the NSA to be turned towards domestic spying.
Snowden has done Liberty a valuable service by bringing to light the evils of this regime.
P.S. The simple fact that most in D.C. are calling him a traitor convinces me that Snowden the the proper and honorable thing.
He violated that trust he is a traitor pure and simple.
methinks we might have dueling traitors..who lied and betrayed US first? Is it traitorous to unmask a traitor by the only means possible? If we had a fair and just government I might agree with you, but in the course of human events....which I think we are nearing at breakneck speed from an out of control government sometimes options are limited. What happened to fast and furious? Benghazi? IRS? Reporters records being taken under false pretenses? who has gone to jail or even been reprimanded and not promoted?
I see.
Exactly who do you define as “the enemy” in this case, and more to the point, do you define the obama government as on your side, and if so, why?
Is it because of their loyalty to the Constitution and personal liberty and freedom or what?
James Clapper told congress (March) that no-one in the NSA was “collecting” information on U.S. Citizen’s communication. Mr.Snowden revealed that James Clapper was a liar, a perjurer. Who really violated the public trust? Who is the REAL enemy of the Constitution?
Barack Obama
Joe Biden
Dianne Fienstien
John Bohener
John McCain
Lindsay Graham
Montana Joe
Maybe you need to step back and consider the company you’re keeping when you stand beside the above and point someone out as a traitor. Careful, because labels can follow you around for awhile ‘round these parts...
Uhhhh, no.
And don`t give me that "Patriot Act" horse shit. The Patriot Act IS NOT a CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT, or is it? IF not, then this part of it is blatantly illegal as it violates the 4th amendment and any orders derived from it are also.
The man is a hero and if he does get arrested and not murdered by your buddy O`Bozo, I will gladly donate for his defense fund.
really, OK there is the talking points byuthe elitist ruling class now answer this
what secrets has he given away, name 3 which has put in harms way and helping to destroy the country.
I await with much anticipation because I know he hasn;t done anything , how about looking an oabma Govt which is out of control, breaking the law, 4th amendment, oh wait you watch and hear their talking points and repeat it but never question
No, you’re wrong.
He didn’t take an oath to protect the folks far above his pay grade.
He was in the military and took an oath to protect the U.S.Constitution.
Find a copy and read it.
I see. So, what about the illegal domestic spying part of it? Don’t you care about your freedom?
I agree.....there was a solid reason why neither news organizations would reveal his other 40 odd points and only published the same 4...... As was stated...”some things are meant to be secret”.
I somehow believe better minds than his prevailed...at least at this time.
China and Russia would love to have this guy...he’s a walking target no matter where he goes....and he knew that would be.
He exposed the PROCESS not documents.
Since when is it in "our national security" to trash the 4th Amendment and monitor the private communication of 300 million America citizens? That is "treason" against We The People.
Moreover, WHO is really threatened by Snowden's revelations? Would it be the statists, globalists, and fascists whose "secrets" expose them as criminals who use NSA apparatus as an instrument of coercion and blackmail?
