“You could start by taking off those red white and blue coloured blinders, and getting rid of that absurd ‘My Country, Right or Wrong!’ badge.”
Yes, because a US citizen, breaking a US law, is absolutely something that only non-US citizens are fit to consider.
Snowden's leaks are a nuanced subject. I agree with his (stated) motives, and I think that some of the leaks needed to come out, to inform people who were in a coma for the past decade, or otherwise didn't know what was going on. Honestly, until this leak, I was even beginning to accept that he might deserve to be given amnesty for it. This last one looks to have crossed over the line, though.
“You should take that up with NYT and Der Speigel. THEY are the ones who decided to publish this story. Snowden has actively removed himself from decisions regarding what to publish.”
He didn’t actively remove himself from stealing it and handing it over to his fence, did he? That’s an utterly laughable defense.
