The only criminal in this whole story is Snowden. Literally, no one else broke the law here. You need to screw your head back on.

- KingMob 11y agoDon't mistake legality for morality. By a lot of people's estimations, they're exactly reversed in this situation with Snowden breaking secrecy laws by exposing "legal" surveillance. Plus, it's not even clear the government is acting legally here. An excellent case can be made that mass surveillance violates the Fourth Amendment, and if the CIA planned anything other than bringing Snowden back to a public trial in the USA, that would be a violation of the Sixth Amendment.
- br_smartass 11y agoIt's awkward to even have to compose a reply to that answer! Some people reaaaally need to affirm to themselves that everything is fine whatever happens, for some reason. Small minds.
