So, would an executive order having Snowden suffer from acute lead poisoning be OK with you? It would be OK with me.
If it came from Obozo then you know he would be ok with it. If it came from a GOP POTUS then no. Think about who you are asking.

You should watch the documentary on Snowden, pretty entertaining watch. I think it was called CitizenFour.

I know who I was asking. It would be great to think that we all could agree on Snowden.

I'm not even sure I agree with you. The CitizenFour doc made me think about things a little differently than previously. Another good flic was Kill the Messenger about the reporter who broke the story on the CIA being behind the Coke/crack influx of the 80s into the inner cities.

Snowden=Hillary

She is a pig politician wallowing in the mud of corruption for historical significance. She wants to be remembered just like the sorry bastered trump. Shame on her. What a betrayal of her country. And people here will vote for her triumphantly solely in opposition to a party. Another example of putting party before the country. Congrats!

Do you think somebody like Snowden should have the ability to decide what can be given to a foreign intelligence service without repercussions?

Did you watch the doc?

To answer your question, no. However, I'm fine with the initial whistleblowing. That's my conundrum.

I remember seeing the previews, kill the messenger, and I looked it up on line but haven't watched it. Just read the reviews. Rotten tomatoes said it had some factual inaccuracies but was about 80% correct or something like that. Whistleblowing is ok, copying classified info and taking it to a foreign country is not good no matter how altruistic the person is.

I may be incorrect but I think he didn't do that until after his whistleblower status was denied and not until after several months of trying to establish that defense and being denied. The initial leak was the illegal activity we were conducting and that wasn't to a foreign Gov't.

If it had stopped there I think I would have more sympathy. He did cross the line with giving it to foreign gov't

He could have gone to a congressman, newspaper, 60 mins, somebody that would have kept very sensitive material out of the opposition's hands. Once he did what he did, he becomes someone who has passed govt secrets to a foreign entity, in my opinion.

No. He's a spy (by his own admission) and a traitor, but he should be given due process and spend the rest of his life in Leavenworth. Or in Russia, which as far as I'm concerned is just as good.

I thought Snowden and Greenwald (Especially Greenwald) come off as insufferable douchebags in that movie.There are right and wrong ways to do what he did. He did it the wrong way and caused no true change. Good riddance. Stay in Russia.

Agree about Greenwald. The cloak and dagger **** they were hamming up was a bit annoying.
