He is a traitor is he is seeking protection from America’s enemy and leaking to the Chinese that we are spying on them.

He is a traitor is he is seeking protection from America’s enemy and leaking to the Chinese that we are spying on them.

Still shilling for a Stasi, fascist-style surveillance police state?

Did you even care about or know that tagging, tracking without cause...AND preparing plans to detain dissidents (aka conservatives) with the "Main Core" database of millions of Americans who the regime considers a "threat" is....ILLEGAL? And violates the pesky 4th Amendment? Is theft of our liberty and privacy?

What say you?

He is a traitor is he is seeking protection from America’s enemy and leaking to the Chinese that we are spying on them.

First let me say that I am not defending what Snowden did, or the way he did it. That being said, do you really think the Chinese did not know we were spying on them? Even if they couldn't figure it out by themselves, I'm sure they found evidence after they hacked into our government computers as they spied on us...

As far the "traitor" claim, give it a rest. He is most certainly guilty of any number of crimes, but treason is not one of them. Treason has a very specific legal definition, and what he did does not qualify. He did not "make war against the United States"; he never took up arms against the country. And as far as giving "aid and comfort to an enemy", there is no evidence he did that. Publicly revealing the existence of a data collection program is far from providing specific battle plans to an enemy in the field, for example. So let's all cool down the hyperbole a bit.

He is not a traitor. He informed the American people of secret surveillance being carried out against all of them. And, according to the following interviews with a 40 yerar NSA career official, who headed up their Intelligence Division under Bush, what the NSA is doing is the thing that is wrong and unconstitutional, so Snowden's act is an act of patriotism.

And, just becasue he was in Hong Kong when he went public on youtube does not mean he "seeking protection from America's enemy."

Have you ever been to Hong Kong? I have? A person who spoke the language and knew what they were doing could hide there. Lots and lots of people. lots and lots of small, out of the way apartments.

But my guess is that he is no longer there.

I know this (and so does Snowden) he does not want the communist chinese to get ahold of himm and milk info out of him.

No, he kept his oath to the Constitution, though he had to breal=k "laws" to do so...which should tell you much more about our sad state of affairs than anything.
