The US government is charging Snowden on the basis that it is still a credible Constitutional, democratic government. So the charges only have bite if Snowden betrayed and violated such a government. In my opinion the US government doesn't have any right to contend that and it is the government itself that is more guilty of what they are charging Snowden with. The true picture is Snowden has called the bluff of a criminal government that has used criminal and deceptive means to take power and commit non-democratic actions. It's basically the crooks beating-up a person who is brave enough to give the transparency that government was denying to the people. Why we should abide and pay for this despicable travesty is an outrage and shouldn't be tolerated by any democracy upholding public.
