As a Russian, this statement really rustled my jimmies. I hope US catches Snowden, and he rots in prison for the rest of his life. Though he still would be better off than Magnitsky.
- Karunamon 13y ago"Rotting in prison" is the least of Snowden's worries. We have precedent in what will happen, he'll be tortured just like Manning. And shame on you for venerating rule of law over right and wrong.
- Grue3 13y agoThe right thing for him to do would be to criticize Russian human right violations, especially against whistleblowers like him. The wrong and cowardly thing to do is to praise Russia for not handing his sorry ass to Americans as if it's some sort of victory for human rights.
- Karunamon 13y agoI praise actions more than intents, thank you very much.
- a-priori 13y agoRule of law would be a step up from how we're seeing the US behave right now.
- flyinRyan 13y agoAre you serious? You think it would set a good precedent that the guy who blew the whistle on the world wide spying going on ends up rotting in jail? That helps us how exactly?
- VladRussian2 13y agoAs a Russian you would understand that the price Russians would charge for not handing Snowden's ass to Americans would be high. "Either praise our human rights or go for a fair trial without prolonged pre-trial unusual and cruel punishment" - an offer one can hardly refuse.
- rfctr 13y agoAs a Russian, I'm proud of good things my government does (including Snowden's case) and ashamed of bad things it does (those things are offtopic in this discussion though).
