So, Semo...
Has your opinion changed now that he has dropped his bid for asylum in Russia?
Mine still hasn't.
Just because our government labels someone as a traitor, or a terrorist, doesn't make it so.
I hate to come across as a cynic, but I'm also not naïve or altruistic enough to take everything at face value.

Reading the post in this thread it seems that at least the OTB posters have to decided for themselves that this guy is a traitor with no assistance needed from the government
Also, him no longer seeking asylum in Russia may have more to do with Russia telling him to get the frick out than it does with him deciding to leave. None of us knows what really goes on behind the scenes in situations like this but I would imagine there's a lot of political maneuvering and posturing that occurs

If our government was forthright with us, they would have deemed it necessary to inform us that certain information would have to be acquired to stop terrorism...
Instead they went behind the backs of the very citizens they're protecting....
Snowden is a patriot IMO, and we need to start voting all of these fools out of office that went along with this....
Personally, I've got nothing to hide, but I don't like being Big-Brothered either....they need to quit fricking spying on us, bottomline. I don't trust a government like that...doesn't sound like "WE THE PEOPLE" to me

he must not have been willing to give up secrets if Russia said they wont grant him asylum.
