I disagree with that. If you watch the interview it might change your mind a bit.
Who was he supposed to go to report the corrupt goverment? The goverment?
Listen to his tales of other whistleblowers and see what happened to them.
In fact here is a comment someone left on the video.
“My father was a private contractor who worked in the Pentagon. I have no clue of exactly what he did. It had something to do weapon systems. He had an extremely high security clearance and he took his clearance seriously. On a project my father was working on he came across something that he referred to as unethical and left it at that. He spoke up as a whistleblower. It ruined his career and launched a CIA investigation of him, my mother, and me and my siblings who were all adults with families of our own. The CIA interviewed our neighbors and employers. The only thing to come from the investigation was the unbelievable stress of the investigation on our family. I believe the investigation was to intimidate and show him there is a price to pay for whistleblowing.”
Your opinion? Exactly what is your opinion? “That he gave up his Life in this country to protect it”?
Answer this, did he:Steal Government Property? Yes or No
Willfully release Classified Intelligence Information to an Unauthorized Person(S)? Yes or No
Willfully Communicate release Classified National Defense Information? Yes or No
You asked about the source. I gave it to you, The Government and HIS own actions and words proved it out. That is a criminal act regardless of all else it is a criminal act. Those facts are Undeniable, he did it he admits to doing it when HE released the documents.
Brittany Griner has nothing at all to do with this, she committed a criminal act in a foreign country and is getting to pay the piper for it. This has NOTHING to do with Snowden.
My opinion has been crystal clear from day 1 I found out about what he did.
But if its not let me make it even more clear.If he is ever apprehended, He should be charged with the three counts listed originally and if possible Treason, and upon conviction sentenced appropriately. (the original three charges would be 30 years in prison) Treason if convicted (Death) and also any other charges possible, including Selling information to our enemies. At minimum he should never see the light of a free day again and preferable executed for at minimum selling information (and using it to gain asylum and now citizenship is selling it).
You can have an opinion all day long and deep in to the night. But when the facts (in this case the persons own actions) support the governments allegations, well your opinion does not hold up to the facts.
If you think Russia and the other nations would just do give him protections to snub the US without anything in return, well that i do not know what to say to.
