4. He's going to be arrested, ProSense. Perp-walked to the Frog March. He will pay a heavy price.

Of that, I have no doubt. I also don't doubt he knew that from the very beginning.

The unavoidable truth though, is this: He started a conversation that isn't going away.

You needn't worry though; President Obama is more than protected in this whole affair. There are layers upon layers upon layers to this onion. Plausible deniability begins about two layers above Snowden's head.

Let's concentrate on that unavoidable truth, though, shall we? Government collection of the flotsam and jetsam of Americans' daily life isn't constitutionally authorized, and will come to an end one way or the other. To that end, we owe Mr. Snowden at least a little thanks.
