He should be judged fairly by a jury of his peers and that trial should be held in a transparent, fair and open trial for all to see.
The government won't let that happen. They'll say that, for national security reasons, the public can't be allowed to know the actual impact of the secrets he disclosed. And if we can't see the impact, it's impossible to weigh judgment.
Democracy can't work in the face of such secrecy.
