Why doesn't he return home and face the music like a man. He has also chosen to seek refuge in a country that has one of the worst human rights records on the books, a country who is up to their ears in espionage on its people and the world. What is Snowden about? Sometimes I think he is the instrument of the Tea Party hoping to embarass President Obama and the Democrats. Snowden is full of contradictions. A person who is really concerned about the rights of the citizen would stand behind his treachery, not duck under the bed of espionage host. What the heck. I have no respect for Snowden and as for Russia although the king has put on new clothes you can still see his nakedness. All farce.
