IMO , your opinion means zilch. Maybe you should read about somebody before calling them names. Or at least get their names right.

He will turn himself over to the CIA as soon as all the war criminals in the CIA turn themselves over to The Hague. Surely there are now cowards in the CIA. Those patriots must be more than ready to face the music.

... it sucks to be you, 'cuz it ain't going anytime soon.

The character assassins screamed and screamed and screamed that it was "about Snowden" to deflect from the actual issue, the immoral, UNCONSTITUTIONAL spying on hundreds of millions of law-abiding citizens for no damn good reason and you didn't want to hear that either. Tough shit pal, and now that your ploy has backfired, whining about it, is just that, whining.

Edward Snowden has had my support since day one and continues to have my full support.

My countries corrupt corporate controlled government has lost all my respect.

I hope the whistleblowers, leakers and independent journalists start coming out in droves.

This country can not heal until it faces the illegality of its past.

Our politicians should be held accountable for the destruction they have caused to the United States and countries around the globe.

Go to "My Account"-->"Trash Can". See the "Auto-Trash by keyword" entry box? Type in "Snowden", then click "Trash it".

Those actually concerned about US citizens being spied upon by their own government might have a different opinion on the matter of course.

Because he didn't stick around to be imprisoned and tortured by our government? He gave up everything when he did what he did. How the fuck is he remotely a coward? I also don't see what people are trying to accomplish by attacking him personally. How does him being a douche in his political beliefs or dating a stripper change the fact that the government SHOULDN'T BE SPYING ON AMERICANS?
