Venezuela Offers Asylum to Snowden
- chj 13y agoThis man has done his part. Let him rest a bit.
- calibraxis 13y agoPeople might also be more effective if they relented their narrow focus on this one guy, and turned to the hordes of imprisoned people. (The US imprisons the most.) Not only does this become more diverse in support, it would have the incidental effect of making things easier for Snowden. Because the government no longer can worry about jailing just one guy. but risks pressure to release all the other normal people rotting in prison. (Governments do relent when faced with sufficient costs, so as not to risk their other aims. Of course, they spin this as benevolence; or point to some new politician cog as bringing hope and change.)
