He’s a hero pure and simple. Our government needed to be exposed and he did it.
Depends on how you look at it
I look at t as a situation without heroes.
Personally I think a much closer look at Booz Allen needs to be taken. The fact that Woolsey works for them now and James Clapper worked for them in the past and they get multi-billion dollar govt contracts sure sounds like cronyism to me.
Well Harlow, if you must destroy the village in order to save it, then I'm not with you; count me out. (My Lai redux)
Substitute constitution for village above and that's what we face.
You broke the law Harlow and now you moan about a person blowing the whistle on your lawbreaking and you dare to call him a "traitor".
Plenty of 'agency' people say you don't need to be recording all of us on every phone call, every email, every Skype session, every internet search etc., in order to track terrorists.
You see Harlow, we as Tea Party conservative patriots have already been designated in your policy notebook as right wing wacko fringe radical terrorists etc. It won't be long before your off-book hidden Federal Reserve backed budget is used against us as you make our members start to 'disappear'. Just as the IRS hounded us and continues to harass us, you will zero your assets on us and find a pretext to go Waco on us. But you will go further with a lot of cleverly constructed strange disappearances and accidents.
Harlow, you are not CIA, you are KGB and your worst nightmare is seeing us take the reins of power where among the first actions should be having your fate mirror Ceausescu's.
Harlow, Tea Party Patriots are going to see if you and your circle have absolute power yet over elections by way of public opinion shaping media and control over election offices in critical counties on the turf of your Detroit like urban archipelago. Because if you don't have absolute control you're toast. You've got 10 months.
Booz Allen is an asset of CIA and DIA; always has been and always will be.
Harlow and Woolsey would make the US a country not worth defending. Thus, we could follow their prescription and then dismantle the CIA and NSA.
He should be given some sort of "freedom medal", and a statue with an information plaque erected in Washington, and then shot or hung.
He is a hero, however he will never be safe here
Maybe if we stopped opening our borders to those who want to kill us and stopped funding their operations and giving them Cabinet positions we wouldn't need such Orwellian levels of snooping. Maybe that's the point.
Since the only ones now defined as "terrorists are Christians, Tea Party members, Veterans, etc. I have to wonder what those alleged "terrorist attacks" were.
As Edmund Burke allegedly said, “All it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing”.
Mr. Snowden, at great personal risk; exposed OUR government, abusing our Constitutional rights in an ongoing, premedicated and illegal manner. Mr. Snowden, knowing that he was going to be persecuted, chose to do the right thing, instead of the easy thing.
That's not a very high standard, is it Debra?
Shot and hung for what?
Exposing illegal activities by the government? Who’s side do you claim to represent? Killing a whistleblower is a great way to protect Obama and his cronies - who have held the Constitution in utter contempt, and continue to work to destroy it. You appear to be wanting to use murder, to further Obama’s goals.
Edward Snowden lost practically everything he had, to expose the illegal activities of the NSA. He lost his career, his income, his life in the USA, his personal relationships, his home - because he exposed how intrusive the Government has become in tracking it’s citizens, steps the KGB would admire.
And you want to kill him?
It is now illegal to blow the whistle on the 4th branch of government doing illegal things...

Agreed.
And meanwhile, the real traitors are immune.
I’m using him as my Write-in candidate.
It’s undeniable that Mr. Sowdon conclusively revealed the illegal and unconscionable spying on American citizens by the NSA. No matter what else you say about the guy, this is a truly heroic act.
It’s the Federal government that’s conniving against the people. This is truly heinous and evil and it’s nothing less than a declaration of war by the Federal government against the American citizen.
Well, this state/country has a Consitution that prohibits such activity without a warrant.
