In reply to the discussion: Snowden: Has your non-support or support of Snowden changed over time? [View all]quinnox
(20,600 posts)And I have not seen any reason or new developments to cause me to change that opinion, so far. If Snowden ended up selling crucial secrets to Russia or something like that, then that would be another matter. But the story of a patriotic American of conscience has remained consistent. I can forgive him for evading the U.S. at this time, he is a young man, and perhaps with good reason is afraid of being thrown into Gitmo or tortured in an undisclosed location if caught.
I would only support Snowden being brought to face justice under certain conditions. One is, the trial would not be secret, and would be public. And it would not be done in a military court, but a regular court of law. No secret trials, no secret proceedings. A fair trial, open to the public.
