Snowden Is anybody going to watch?

[Aloha_Shooter]

I'll be happy to watch the honest documentary on Snowden as evidence at his sentencing hearing for treason. I haven't liked an Oliver Stone fantasy since .... nah, can't think of one project Stone has done that I have any respect for.

I'm certainly not a fan or anything, but it would be good to hear what REALLY happened and not just the libtard media, gov't censored version.

Agreed. I just figure by watching it, I can read between the lines and get a little bit of a sense...

I guess I'm alone in thinking it looks interesting. I'll take the few seconds required to pirate it in spirit of the topic.

Dang. A lot of Snowden haters here.

Movie looks stupid IMO. It's not like Snowden's story is action packed or anything. However, I appreciate the fact that he threw his life away so America could know what the government is doing. I'm sure he's real proud of that move considering most people either don't care or want him hung.

I find it ironic that forums like this are heavy on standing up to the government if it overreaches it's boundary (many claiming it already has) and disobeying laws that are unjust or unconstitutional but when someone does just that the same people yelling about patriotism from the highest peak they can find are the first to label him a treasonous traitor who should be paraded through the streets after being killed in some gruesome manner. I guess you have to take up arms against your brother and kill in order to be seen as someone fighting for freedom & liberty otherwise you're a wussy and a traitor who should be executed.

I don't know if he is guilty or not. I know that he is unwilling to stand trial and be judged by a jury of his peers, as outlined in the Constitution he at least once in his life swore an oath to uphold and defend. Rather than stand by his convictions and bear personal responsibility for what he believed to be the right thing, he fled prosecution to a government that he knows has no good will towards the nation of his birth.

I do not hate Mr. Snowden. I disagree with his choice to flee. For that I find his motivation and personal conviction to be questionable. I hope he someday alters his choice and agrees to abide by the Constitution he once pledged allegiance to. Until that day, I will reserve judgment.

I stand by my Oliver Stone "fairy tale" comment.

If it's free, maybe, eventually.

If I was Snowden, I would have done a little insider trading on Wall Street before I left. I would probably got some Hillary lesbian video too...

It's one thing to stand up to government overreach ala Cliven Bundy and his sons or the Tea Partiers who've fought intrusive IRS practices. It's whole other thing to use that as an excuse and cover to try to get away with rank treason. The timeline alone on his story stinks to high heaven and indicates a pre-planned plot to steal a bunch of secrets for Russia and/or China.

A House intelligence committee report on National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden says he's not a whistleblower and that the vast majority of the documents he stole were military and defense secrets that had nothing to do with Americans' privacy.
The committee on Thursday released a three-page unclassified summary of its two-year investigation into the Snowden case. The committee says that contrary to Snowden's self-portrayal as a whistleblower, the report reveals that he was a "disgruntled employee who had frequent conflicts with his managers."
