which goes way past 4th Amendment provisions our Constitution guarantees, and for that he is a legitimate whistle blower and I commend him.
As for revealing the intricacies of his own country's international covert operations, he crossed the line into possible sedition, IMO.
That's the dichotomy in the Snowden case that most Eddie fans won't acknowledge the domestic v the international revelations.
That's why I say let him stay in Russia. He made his choice to cough up details about international covert operations. Unwisely IMO but what do you expect from a somewhat self-important, naive and immature 29-year-old who got in too deeply into international matters. He should have thought the second part of the issue through more thoroughly.
He didn't.
He defected.
Now he has to deal with his decision.
