care to explain how he is a traitor? I think he is a Hero and should be pardoned.

It's pretty telling that Snowden fled to Russia once the shite hit the fan...just sayin'.

You do understand that if he returned he wouldn’t have been able to raise an affirmative defense that the documents released were in the public interest? People who use this as evidence of some nefarious action by him have zero understanding of the Espionage Act and the limitations it puts on a Defendant. Even Daniel Ellsberg acknowledged this. Snowden would have been silenced by our government and we’d be none the wiser about our government’s actions and lies.

It's telling of what? That he didn't want to be imprisoned and/or executed?

Let me take it one step further for you, even if he was a Russian Spy acting entirely under the guidance and direction of the Kremlin itself, I would still be grateful that he exposed the information that he did.

If we sent spies to NOKO, and those spies exposed dirty little secrets about the Kims, then I would hope the citizens of NOKO would at least be able to see the benefit in knowing the truth, even if it is a breach of their sovereignty. Worst case, that's what we're dealing with in Snowden.
