Al Gore: NSA's Law-Breaking Worse Than Snowden's - USNews

60. I prefer to ask those who have experienced what happens to Whistle Blowers here. Manning was

supported by some very prominent people here and overseas. That didn't stop the torture for several years, nor did it get him a fair and open trial. 35 years in prison, for refusing to violate his oath.

Please, I don't think there is even a question anymore as to how we treat those who threaten the corrupt rulers of this country who appear NOT to be those we elect.

There are worse things than death, ask Manning, ask Drake, ask Binney. Snowden did the right thing, too bad Manning didn't do the same thing, he would be free to speak about what he saw, why he was compelled to try to stop it.

If the Government wants to end all of this, all they have to do is abide by their oaths of office. Not much is required of them, just to 'protect and defend the Constitution of the US against all enemies, both foreign and domestic'. That should not difficult. Drake tried to do it, Manning tried to do it, Snowden tried to do it. Not so much those charged with the obligation to do so.
