Well emp if all the rules can be dissolved at any time by the individual thinking the government is BS they are not really rules are they ? But if he is acting out of social conscience then he needs to come to the USA and defend himself. many of the other countries probably including Russia he would have been bumped off without us ever hearing of him or his revelations Yes because the US is famous for giving its enemies fair trials. I feel you are probably just taking the mickey now.. Deadly serious in the United Kingdom we have the official secrets act breach that and you can be imprisoned for a long time. I don't know the equivalent in Serbia but I would like to bet the penalties are very severe. Same rules apply in the USA. I hope Mr snowden enjoys the rest of his life in Russia under president Putin

Personally,and I think most sane people, thank Snowden and others like him. Foaming at the mouth Fox news presenters are the only nuts that want to hang him from a tree. Whistleblowers have made the world a better place, from Daniel Ellsberg in the Vietnam era to Snowden and now these Drone operator whistleblowers and conscientious objectors in the middle east. They make civilizations, the people stan supports are the nutjobs that think they should be allowed kill and destroy in secret for money.

Actually I do support whistleblowers especially those against local authorities and the government but he was a CIA operative these people carry very sensitive information breaching that can cost lives of innocents especially in the war on terror within our societies. As I understand it they sign the equivalent of the official secrets act it's not an ordinary job. And if you would have it they can compromise whenever they feel the need to do so then it's wide open for our enemies to attack us. Something emp I am sure you are fine with given your clear desire to create a revolutionary socialist utopia no doubt with Russell brand as the president

Yes, but i am sure that applies to secrets about legal activity, not about illegal activities. The same way Snowden has to abide by the law so do these agencies.

Cause he knows he faces military justice, he wouldn't get a trial by the people.

So he is in Russia to escape trial ? Then he can't be very committed to his principles can he ? If he is right explain in court the worlds press will be all over it yet he chooses to skulk in Russia

He leaked confidential sensitive information and he has fled to Russia that's all we need to know about Edward snowden. Hopefully one day he will face justice although it looks like he will be under the protection of Russia for life. And yes I do fear one day an Islamic world albeit I will never see it the objective of IS is world domination and they have set a target broadly of a hundred years if they are succcesful your kids and grandkids will live in it if living is the right word for Russia to be interested in him he must be giving them some thing they want I would say there not doing it for nothing imo You mean he had the guts to speak up against a country which was doing something wrong and unconstitutional, and he is now being hunted like a beast by those who overstepped their authorizations? So basically, he spoke up against some criminals and they are now hunting him for busting him, and you are characteriying the country which is protecting him as the bad guys  You do make me laugh. for Russia to be interested in him he must be giving them some thing they want I would say there not doing it for nothing imo imo no, its a PR thing.
