Edward Snowden made a calm, compelling case for clemency last night. He's a patriot.

He was searing in his sincerity. He went through his own revelations - from 9/11, the bullshit of the Iraq War, seeing how the government spies on US - on EVERYONE. The kangaroo spy courts. The lies.

They can get into your phones? Why should the government be able to do that?

Quite a contrast to the wild-eyed, (botoxed) threatening John Kerry yesterday. Man up, really?

Or the admitted liar ("least untruthful&quot James Clapper.

Edward Snowden made a case to come home. The government should hire him to work to put in controls. Do some community service. But guarantee his safety. And thank him.
