48. Then That's Snowden's Fault...

...he would serve all a big service if he returned to this country to face not only his charges but his accusers as well. Looks like his daddy's set up a big time Constitutional lawyer, Bruce Fein, who could use a trial to do all sorts of discovery about what's going on with the NSA, Booz-Allen and others that Mr. Snowden could identify as violating laws or rights or both. He could truly be a Daniel Ellsberg and use his trial...which surely would be covered to the gills on the innertoobs...and expose the draconian security state if he chose to. Remember, it's the government's burden of proof...they'd have to disclose details of whose being spied on and how it conforms to the law. The whole thing could be both educational (to the many who aren't familiar with how pervasive invasions into our privacy...commercially as well as by the government...has gone and to force the government to clean up its act and maybe even force congress to roll back the odious "Patriot Act".

With Snowden on the run or hiding in some self-imposed exile he offers little and, yes, will fade from the news, history and relevance...
