Compared to past infractions Snowden has gotten off relatively easy
- paulmd 10y agoLargely because Snowden is outside the political reach of the US for the moment, and the USG realizes it would be counterproductive to throw a public temper tantrum about it. If he hadn't fled it's quite likely he would have faced the same kind of treatment as Thomas Drake and William Binney, if not harsher.
