> I hope he comes home and faces a trial. If he gets an OJ level superstar legal team he has a good chance of being found not guilty. If he loses he's facing around 10 yrs in a lower security prison. The show trial and national debate he'll spark will probably be more than worth it. Wow, what a terrible and imcompassionate comment. Here's young man who braved it all to give us some factual information about spying. When '1984' scenarios were discussed before this leak, most people shrugged it off as some conspiracy theory or one being unnecessarily cynical. This leak is a big reality check for those people. Instead of empathizing with Snowden, here you are saying that spending prison time will be 'worth it'. Worth it for whom? The media who can write tons of stories? The US citizens who now got some factual information but put the source in jail anyway? Snowden _already_ gave up his cushy life for informing the US citizens about this leak. Expecting him to do more speaks more about one's character than anything else. I am already saddenned that there has been outrage only on the internet but not on the streets in the US. It can only mean one thing - the US people cannot be bothered to leave the comfort of their homes where there is, I am sure, something much more 'entertaining' and 'fun'.
