(62,325 posts)torture, isolation, 35 years behind bars for REPORTING TORTURE and other war crimes. Where have you BEEN to make a statement like that in this country? Have you talked to Drake, Binney, who did just as you are telling Snowden to do. They went TOTALLY by the book, through all the channels, and their lives were DESTROYED, careers, finances, and they were the lucky ones.
Just please STOP pretending this country protects Whistle Blowers. It doesn't, period.
And every last one of our Bush Era Whistle Blowers and more, completely support Snowden's decision NOT to remain in this country.
If you want future Whistle Blowers to do that, THEN STOP SUPPORTING the policies that make it impossible.
You HEARD CIA Agents talk about 'taking him out'. He did, so if you want any credibility for your opinions on this, then at least acknowledge that there is no way future Whistle Blowers will or can remain in this country until the Rule of Law has been restored regarding Torturers, Wall St Criminals, and War Criminals. That is a fact.
