no. who knows how far the NSA spying would have drifted without being exposed?

Sadly, the plane he would be on would never make it back to the US. It would suffer engine failure over the Atlantic.

We should throw him a parade for being a hero.

I think he has a right to a fair trial just like everyone else, he did what he felt had to be done, now he has to live with those actions, he knew what the outcome would be.

He should be tried for treason...Leavenworth seems like a very good place for him.

Worse, he should be executed. I had to sign a document acknowledging that divulging classified data was punishable by death. I'm sure he did too.

Only if they convict Obama. Maybe a two for one deal.

Yes, He is a embarrassment to the
U. S. and the free world. Put him away and throw away the key.

If he had to of just blown the whistle on the NSA program to the US media then I would call him a hero. The fact that he left and went to countries who would be willing to use that information to hurt the US is what makes me feel he should do some jail time.

So to me its not so much what he revealed its more about how he did it that made him a criminal.

Lock him away.

Sorry to see more ignorance on here.

He did you all a favor. Sorry you do not approve of how he handled it.

"but he signed a paper". That paper does not excuse law breaking, even by our government.

Fair trial, really? You idiot think that's possible. They just stripped a billionaire of his sports team, because of a leaked private conversation and he was judged and hanged without a fair trial and you thing the guberment will provide him with a fair trial?

Stupid stupid people on here.

yep, and throw away the key.

He would likely not make it to trial.

hell no! he exposed the government that is supposed to be for the people, not waging war against the people.

The closest thing to an honest person we may ever see.I only wish I had his courage.

No, he did us all a big favor exposing this government for what is really is.

No. He's the one who started my research and woke me up.

The founding fathers were also considered traitors for going against a tyrant...

These clowns on here want to send Snowden to jail, but they think it's Ok for Obama to do the same and much worse. Obama is a murderer and these same clowns aren't calling for his execution.

Snowden is our present day Jefferson of sorts. He has singlehandedly forced the NSA to stop breaking US law. He's a heroic person who also was wise enough to exit the country lest he be exterminated here.

He cannot come back, he gave that up for us so we could be more free. God bless Edward, and Godspeed to him.

He's a white guy , he ain't got a chance , if he was black he would be a hero.

Anonymous said...

No! He just confirmed what everyone suspected.

I agree with 1:15. We should throw him a party and have a parade for him. He is a hero who sacrificed his freedom in the U.S. in exchange for our freedom.

He's a hero. He has more courage than any of his critics.

As I was raised by a covert warrior initially I wanted him hanged. After research of the FACTS by him and the lies by our gov I would give him a medal and a statue in Camp Peary. Sadly others are correct about his fate. The trial would expose more than the next pres would allow.

7:53-Great idea.There is absolutely no reason why a parade couldn't be held in his behalf even if he was being tried as a criminal at the same time.My wish is that while he's being hammered in court,or before the Senate,a great celebration for him will be in progress.When and if he returns to the US we owe him that.

If I was on his jury, I would see to it that he would not be jailed.

Anonymous said...

No, as soon as he's off the plane he should be shot right on the tarmac. He is a traitor and deserves absolutely no quarter.

Anonymous said...

No, he is a hero. I believe it took great courage to have done what he did to expose the lies and corruption of his government. To this government, the american people are now the enemy.

He has been back 2 times with complete immunity in 48 hour intervals.That was to allow him to deal with issues that could not be dealt with via computer.That tells me that a Republican President is on tap for 2016,because Obama cannot grant him full unconditional immunity and save face.A new President can let him return without repercussions.

Don't mix betrayal with policy. This jerk is a benedict Arnold. Execute him! Go fantasize your visit to the opposite's bathroom visits!

He should be executed for treason.

He is not a traitor, Obama is a traitor. The government is for the people. The constitution is the governing law, not an administration. Anyone who denies our constitutional rights is a traitor. We must then execute those who have broken the law, not whistle-blowers who expose wrong doing. It then becomes a means to discourage our freedoms. All the people who do not see this do not realize how these dangerous we throw away our rights in the name of "security". The government is busy telling you what is safe for you to do, meanwhile they can control everything and the sheep follow along.

His mother lives just a few hours away in Ellicott City.I think she still works at the Md US District Court.Ed is a blender & looks a lot like Carney to me at least.He can walk down any street with very little alteration to his appearance and no one would recognize him.Why people think an army will be waiting for him to arrive on US soil is a mystery to me and laughable.In spite of what everyone seems to think,he and BO are the best of friends.
