'Tis a shame. Snowden should be making the TV and speaking rounds in the US as a free whistleblower who doesn't have to worry about trumped up charges and being locked up by a government that thinks it can and should be able to criminally violate citizen rights. I mean this is really simple. If the US gov't. doesn't want people blowing this whistle, all it has to do is refrain from violating its citizens' constitutional rights. A few things are this simple.
