Apparently, living in Russia fucking SUCKS!
Snowden told the BBC that he'd "volunteered to go to prison with the government many times," but had not received a formal plea-deal offer. He said that "so far they've said they won't torture me, which is a start, I think. But we haven't gotten much further than that."

We need more Snowdens and less government stooges.

View Quote Agreed, but he also leaked stuff about us spying on foreigners and foreign countries, which is a shitty thing to do, and he probably should be executed for it. Shake his hand, give him a medal, then execute him, I suppose. |

Obama should be welcoming him home with open arms for making the transparency he showed in our governments actions.
Instead, Obama has open arms for terrorist sympathizers and their families. |

I still feel he made the right call. He's a brave dude despite his appearance, that would take some serious fucking sack to come out with.

We know that he released information to the media about our intelligence operations in foreign countries, information that had nothing to do with domestic spying. Unless you're proposing that he somehow kept that publicly released information out of the hands of the Russians, it's possible to say with 100 percent certainty that he passed info on our legitimate spy operations to them, and therefore possible to judge him without being foolish. |

Russia's not a human rights paradise, eh? Impossible! I have been told multiple times on here that Russia is now a better nation than the US.

I wonder if he's learned first hand exactly how NOT FUCKING TRUE that is... It might be interesting in about a decade or so to find out exactly what happened to him in Russia.

Quoted: I still feel he made the right call. He's a brave dude despite his appearance, that would take some serious fucking sack to come out with. View Quote I have to disagree. He obtained his information by manipulating other people out of their user names and passwords, then accessing everything they had authorization and need to know for. Then he downloaded everything he could and stole it. He illegally compromised over 30 accounts to obtain the massive amount of information he stole. His actions are those of a foreign collector or someone who wants to steal the data for personal gain. I would feel differently if he was read on to a program, had ethical issues with the program, reported it through the approved FWAC channels and when nothing was done, went public with some information regarding a specific illegal activity of the .gov. That's not what he did. |

What we DO know is that our own government secretly engaged in systematic, suspicionless, mass surveillance of US. We KNOW they are fucking dirtbags of the highest order. Snowden is at worst an unknown. |

Quoted: The thing is did he really change anything? View Quote He didn't change shit. The only thing he accomplished was giving the Russkies a shitload of information on US intelligence. Fuck him. Enjoy your borscht mother fucker. If he hadn't gone to the Russians then I would say give him 5 years in Club Fed and then forget the whole thing. But if you sell out to the Russians then you can rot in Siberia for all I care. |

BTW, for you military guys who agree with him and think what he did was right, why don't you just do the right thing and go in tomorrow and tell your security manager you need to have your clearance revoked.
