What point is there staying home and facing the charges when America is basically a fascist occupied state with a rogue government that has turned against its people and the Constitution? Besides, why is Russia such a pariah state? They're not communist any more remember? If we have a Global Economy then foreign states are not the automatic enemies they used to be, right? There's no doubt there's been a restructuring of internal and external definitions and alliances, which doesn't exclude a neo-American National Security state now criminalizing its population and destroying previous Constitutional protections (and lying about it with contemptuous impunity). Sorry Drew, but I must have missed the part where Snowden owed some kind of moral debt to those filthy traitors that call themselves our government. It's clear the definition of what Snowden did was not criminal but was instead a heroic defense of the American people and their rights against a dark and treasonous government that no longer respects their rights or previous form of government. Snowden shined light into the dark recesses of government that the Bush administration concealed with their anti-democratic laws. The attention shouldn't be on Snowden, it should be on the government that now acts like all guilty criminals when caught. Chances are if Snowden took a brave stand his information would be confiscated and buried and you would never hear of him. This would all be done with the mass approval of the average American useful idiot that now crowds the 'Killing Kennedy' Amazon review section with thousands of approving positive reviews. What really needs to be criticized is calls for death from the halls of the murderers of JFK and government hunting of citizens who do the job government has now forsaken. If America were really sound it would not respond that way to sunshine and transparency, which is the real issue here. The government gives away what the policies and practices Snowden exposed are really intended for. So the violator isn't really Snowden it's us. We are the ones who have let these Kennedy killers reign for too long.
