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.

Was there no other option for him? Couldn't he have asked for an audience with the President to express his concern and try to solve the problem or at least make an effort. To put one's country in harm's way like this is unthinkable. Does Snowden realize that America is one of the most hated countries in the world and there are those who would want to do serious harm to the country and its citizens. Many see American democracy as a threat to dictators everywhere so this is like a god sent reason to blow off America.




Cuban citizens would not dare to do that to their country. Fidel Castro would have executed swift justice, China also would not nor any of these countries that are showing a willingness to hide this misguided young man. He needs to be return to America to face the American justice system. If he would betray his country and his people would he have sympathy for people in worst situation, would he be able to hold his tongue when a Cuban talks about how frustrated they are with a government that controls everything they do or would he expose Cuba, Russia or Ecuador as well.These countries are not known for their generosity in terms of individual freedoms and rights.



Watch out, this is a hot potato. This is a publicity stund by Snowden. He's waiting for the million dollar movie and book-deal. He should not be allowed to profit from his criminal behaviour.
