Then again, he didn't work for the German government. I don't doubt that Germans have a different view on such issues than USians, I'm just saying it would be surprising if they cared enough about a US whistleblower to want Snowden killed.

> Then again, he didn't work for the German government. As I outlined in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13272352 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13272352 in Germany many people don't consider the government as "us", but as "them" (those who rule "us"). So I don't believe that there would be large hatred in the German population (in opposite to the politicians) if Snowden betrayed the German government instead.
