I don't see how anything else could happen here, unless the USA is truly a lawless country where the rich and powerful is in control without any consequences. So yeah, Snowden will still be on the run.
- kome 6y agoI fully agree. USA is lawless, for example U.S. blacklists International Criminal Court prosecutor over Afghanistan war crimes probe: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-icc-sanctions/u-s-blacklists-icc-prosecutor-over-afghanistan-war-crimes-probe-idUSKBN25T2DX https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-icc-sanctions/u-s-bla...

- Applejinx 6y agoYeah, this needs to be fixed (not simply made worse and worse)
- readarticle 6y agoInternational law doesn’t exist as we would understand it, the global system’s inherent anarchy and thus lack of law, or lawlessness, is essentially axiomatic in IR. It may seem nitpicky, but I genuinely don’t think people understand how utterly anarchic geopolitics is, even at the height of unipolar stability in decades past.

- marvy 6y agoWhy so sure? Are you saying this program probably was legal after all and this court made a mistake?
- tssva 6y agoSince this court ruled that another court was incorrect when ruling that the program was legal and allowed it to proceed it is not outside the realm of possibility that another court would find this one was incorrect. I certainly wouldn't say it is anywhere near guaranteed though.
