The IN thing to do on news shows is to trash Snowden as a traitor because he's hiding out in countries that we consider less than free. We criticize these places, such as China and Russia, as being harmful and unjust to their citizens. You've got to be kidding me. Our own government has been proven to have trampled on the Constitutional rights of Americans with absolutely NOTHING happening to the people who are responsible for such crimes. Has Obama been kicked out of office? Is Holder being tried? Has Hillary Clinton been arrested? What has happened to the head of the FBI, or the IRS? Have the companies who did nothing but comply with the unlawful orders of the government lost millions of customers?
A FOX legal contributor has just said that this is the most free country in the world, and that Snowden should come home and be tried by a jury of his peers. Right, he should put himself in the hands of government officials who don't give a care about Constitutional rights? He should be tried under the crooked judges who rubber stamp the spying of the U.S. on it's citizens, who haven't been accused of any wrong doing? I don't know if Snowden has given aid and comfort to our "enemies" or not. But I do think he'd be crazy to put himself in the hands of a government, that has passed a law that says the President can throw anyone, he considers a threat to this country, into a jail without any legal charges, trial, or specific duration. Stay where you are Mr. Snowden. For I don't think you'd get justice here no matter what you've done or not done. Nor would we ever learn the truth. It would all be classified.
