It is a pretty big step, however, from drone strikes against terrorists to kidnapping a US citizen and throwing them into a secret prison for committing a crime. The blowback would be immense, and the gov't knows it.
Do I think they'd take a convenient opportunity, even extralegal, to snatch Snowden? Yep. But only to bring him back to the US to stand trial.
- ben_w 5y agoI’d like to think there would be immense blowback, but there was less than I expected and hoped for from his revelations. I’m still surprised by public figures denouncing him as a traitor. My thought processes seem to be nowhere near normal when it comes to politics. I’m not ASD (AFAICT), but I am definitely not neurotypical either.
