so i'll ask it another way-
what medal should snowden be awarded and from which country?
are you saying that the country he traited against should award him a medal for treason?
how would that work?
again, serious questions.

sorry, sometimes i do have to sleep ;)
thats why:
when it comes to the theking/pathfinder theory of breaking an oath is more severe than breaking a law: Von Stauffenberg and his people broke their oath when they tried to blow Hitler up. Millions of soldiers excused themselves for their horrible war crimes because the they were just following orders and/or their oath to follow Hitler to whatever end. Fuck that.
We - the "civilized" western world - generally agree to basic human rights but allow to have them violated by the people we voted for and that we pay from our money every day.
