Snowden interview 05.28.14
Surprised there isn't already a thread on last nights interview..... at least that I could find.
If half of what he said last night is true.... he is the definition of a patriot and a true American.
Snowden was articulate, intelligent, and ready to show his perspective in a way that couldn't be misrepresented by the liberal media.

Treasonous f-tard posing as a patriot.
interesting that the polar opposite positions immediately manifest themselves. on one hand, there's the analysis that he's a patriot, and then there's your pro-state, pro-NSA, pro-government up your ass position. frankly, sir, if you are pro-NSA and their programs spying on Americans, it is you that is posing as a patriot.Originally Posted by Aloha_Shooter
Care to explain that one?
I watched the second installment of the Frontline "United States of Secrets" feature this morning. It was rather hard to stomach the government officials (current and former) coming right out on camera and admitting they trampled parts of the constitution. Doesn't much seem to bother them though...
Pick a side. I support Snowden's actions. If the US Gov't wasn't always breaking the law...

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
Personally after just watching some clips I have a new found respect for the guy. He is calm, composed, not arrogant. He brought up a good point,he won't get a fair public trial. His story would never be told and they'd put him away and we'd never hear more from him.
Progressive ideology, ideas so good they must be mandatory.
Your freedom to be you includes my freedom to be free from you.
The interesting point to me is after seeing the ACTUAL people who started the whole program on PBS Frontline showing how they tried to work in the system and through propper channels, then the people in the DOJ and Congress did the same, with the result being both were hung out to dry trying to fight a secret letter that the executive branch created itself as a "Get out of Jail" card nobody ever gets to see.... They litterally went to a critically ill mans bed to harrass him into OKing it and when he refuses, they bypass the HEAD of the DOJ to then replace him with the same guy harrassing him in his hospital bed. Ya, nothing off here. If Snowden is such a traitor, while others that tried to stop the program were summarily gagged/threatened/arrested/etc, now ALL the branches are admitting to some extent that the program(s) went too far and finally the concensous of the American People in this Democracy (where it is supposed to be the will of the people) are saying it went to far........... and ALL of this would clearly have never seen the light of day unless there was a Snowden........... What else would those of you calling him a traitor suggest he have done differently?
I would also be interested in how many of you calling him a traitor are in "Law Enforcement" meaning you are simply protecting your own interests? Please standup and be counted.

So nobody can comment in more than a few words why he isn't a hero?
I would like to hear that side of it.
