Edward Snowden Vindicated

[Snarl]

But pardon?  Hell no.  My suggestion would be a few expended rounds and the time of a firing squad.

Yes, that is harsh.

Was Snowden in possession of classified information when he eloped?

I don't think he's ever 'admitted to it'.

I've never heard him say he's not guilty of anything either;

I've never heard him deny compromising a portion of the National Security of the United States and the American People.

When people say their actions were vindicated ... it usually means they broke the law.  In his case, he frikkin' shattered it.

Personal to @"Ninurta": I've always admired the Russians ... even 'liked' some of 'em.  But, their heads of state are not allied with our heads of state.  I've been in one legitimate gunfight and it was with a Russian down in Panama (typing away with a smile on my face).
