I don't see the outrage from the public over this, they seem relatively unconcerned. And what Snowden has revealed is nothing that we already didn't know. People, especially on the Internet, love excitement added to their dreary lives.

The US is a pretty open book, the reason these scandals and conspiracies eventually do get exposed is because of the freedom of speech, a free press and little government intimidation. This guy broke the law, if in his heart and mind he felt he was doing the right thing, the patriotic thing, then good for him, he still broke the law. If he's tried in the US people will have the right to protest and let their voices be heard that they believe he did the right thing. There's absolutely no way Snowden's in any danger of getting the death penalty and all of you who think he's going to meet up with some 'accident' are loons - for anything to happen to him now would make the government look like the evil tyrants they're accused of being. they want nothing to happen to him other than standing trial for the crimes he committed.

I'm all for responsible and knowledgeable people who report and investigate and blow the whistle on those in power - it's the 95% who are kooks building their make believe cases on facts that aren't really facts who make me nauseous - revolutionaries in cum stained sweatpants.
