First, Daniel Ellsberg on why Snowden made the right call [0]. Second, if he were being charged in the correct jurisdiction, i.e. Hawaii, where he committed his crimes, I would agree with this sentiment. But no, he's been charged with crimes in Virginia, the backyard of the intelligence community. His peers are the American people, not the intelligence community. The government had no business bringing charges against him in another jurisdiction than the one he committed the crimes in. Doing so, shows incredibly poor faith, and a clear intention to get a conviction and harsh sentence by any means necessary, even if it means subverting how our justice system is supposed to work.
