Agnostic about Snowden as person or the means by which the data was released. Agree that populace needed to know the invasive scope of NSA surveillance.
But “in chains at Guantanamo”? Melodramatize, much?

Dude, they’d not send you to Guantanamo. You’ll probably end up in a medium security federal facility, possibly Butner in NC. You’ll do no more than ten years for your crimes, especially if you simply confess.

Rotten timing, Eddie. Why don’t you denounce the lack of freedom in Russia?

Makes no sense, the poor victim. Is happy in Russia, but will be happy to be chained up. No jury would convict him in USA but the thing is he can’t get a fair trial the States!
I know: Putgin’s old KGB pals are doing aggressive drug experiments on Snowden and he’s lost his senses of place, time, logical reasoning!

Oh I think he can’t live with that (not that it would happen, of course it wouldn’t). Otherwise he’d leave Russia immediately and end his implicit endorsement of Putin.

Lustre peeling off the martyrdom?
Bring it on home Fast Eddie.
I support your day in court.
May even come to appreciate your actions.
But that’ll never occur under present terms.

“I think it would be very difficult to find any 12 Americans in the United States right now who would uniformly agree that the last year’s revelations about the NSA’s unconstitutional surveillance programs did not serve the public interest,"
Fortunately, this isn’t exactly the legal standard, but good try.

Denounce the lack of freedom in Russia?
That would require approval directly from the top, from Greenwald himself, and that okay just hasn’t come through. Pretty sure Assange could also block it as insensitve, being an RT employee.

What a fuggin’ drama queen.
He’d do a year in Club Fed, then make millions speaking to “libertarian” gatherings, maybe a bogus run for Congress in Texas.
SNOWDEN == BIG YENTA

If he could “live with that”, then why didn’t he stay and face the prospects for Justice? Answer? He clearly could not really “live with that”.
