Should Snowden be left in the dirt....with bullets in him?

[deltex1]

"More than 500 of the world's leading authors, including five Nobel prize winners, have condemned the scale of state surveillance revealed by the whistleblower Edward Snowden and warned that spy agencies are undermining democracy and must be curbed by a new international charter.

The signatories, who come from 81 different countries and include Margaret Atwood, Don DeLillo, Orhan Pamuk, Günter Grass and Arundhati Roy, say the capacity of intelligence agencies to spy on millions of people's digital communications is turning everyone into potential suspects, with worrying implications for the way societies work."

Heroes like him are rare, but people who want to kill "troublemakers" are all too common, such as yourself for instance.

There is a right way and a wrong way for government malfeasance to be exposed.

Snowden did it the wrong way. He did not even try to do it the right way.

Should Snowden be left in the dirt....with bullets in him?

No.

He should be returned to the United States to stand trial.

Though Tuesday's statement does not mention these programmes by name, it says the extent of surveillance revealed by Snowden has challenged and undermined the right of all humans to "remain unobserved and unmolested" in their thoughts, personal environments and communications. "This fundamental human right has been rendered null and void through abuse of technological developments by states and corporations for mass surveillance purposes," the statement adds.

"A person under surveillance is no longer free; a society under surveillance is no longer a democracy. To maintain any validity, our democratic rights must apply in virtual as in real space."

This is in essence meaningless hyperbole, at least as far as the United States is concerned.

4th Amendment protections are predicated on the doctrine of a reasonable expectation of privacy, where no such expectation exists when one willingly provides personal information to an private third party, such as an ISP or wireless company.

If the American people wish the surveillance programs to end, they’ll instruct their elected representatives to repeal the laws authorizing those programs.

Yeah snowden should have alerted Eric Holder about the spying before going to the media.

Why should he be sent back for trail? Why not have Obama send a drone after him?

The Orwellian Presidential Medal of Freedom isn't worthy of Snowden.

Obama has taken it a step further by actively murdering people.

He's no hero. Had he stayed and accepted whatever happened to him after blowing the whistle, he would have been a hero. Now he's just a coward with good info.

By this logic Chen Guangcheng should have manned up and stayed in China, and the Dalai Lama is a big chicken for going to India.

Judge Andrew Napolitano agrees he is a hero and says Snowden was acting within the laws of the Constitution.
