I am in the other camp. Snowden is a traitor who stole classified information and disclosed it publicly. I don’t forgive that, but then I am old and still believe in our country.
Yeah, but the classified information he disclosed was that our government is illegally spying on all of us. When the government uses classifying documents as a why to hide its misdeeds then it loses all presumption of legitimacy. Pardon him, he is a patriot.
I believe in our country too... we all do. Take one look at the people Clinton and Obama pardoned... Hell, Obama’s campaign started in Bill Ayer’s dining room...
There is a story out there that Snoden was a CIA plant that was there to discredit the NSA. I say Gitmo until proven innocent.
Your country has been stolen from you by the people exposed by Snowden.
Our Founding Fathers were traitors, too. What they did was for the greater good.
“Snowden is a traitor who stole classified information “
The classified information was that the government was using the tools built to protect America from foreigners, and using them to illegally spy on the American people in the most deep and pervasive manner imaginable. Then they lied to Congress about it on TV.
Classification used to cover a massive illegal activity should always be exposed.
But you can forgive corrupt "intelligence" agencies illegally spying on everyone, including political candidates of the wrong political party?
If Snowden had worked at Bletchly Park we would all be speaking German right now.
