Put your money where your mouth is: if you think Snowden's revelations are real and show egregious conduct on the part of the NSA, then give him asylum!
- pcrh 13y agoEven if that doesn't happen straight-away, Snowden will likely find that fairly easy to achieve once this scandal dies down a bit.

- josephlord 13y agoSnowden is accused accused of crimes but has been convicted of nothing. Has he even been indicted yet?
- pcrh 13y agoDiplomatic incidents are resolved diplomatically. Numerous spies/traitors/whistle-blowers/revolutionaries for numerous countries are now living normal lives across the world despite having being exposed. Snowden has no chance of living in the US ever again, but that doesn't mean that he couldn't have a life elsewhere. The fact that heads of government are now effectively gathering on Snowden's side improves his chances that one or another of them will approve asylum status for him, although it won't happen in a hurry.
