Snowden: the case for prosecution (The Economist | Jan 10th 2014)

60. Yeah, let's misquote Ben Franklin, now!

Because he was an expert on 21st Century national security issues.

Say, since you're so enamoured of Ben, and stuck back in the days of the founding fathers, you're probably a strict constructionist, too, huh?

I think there'd be an exodus to the north if you got your wishes...!

Why not bellow on a bit more about those oligarchs, too, while you're at it? Anything to avoid reading the two links provided, I suppose...!

You do know the RUSSIANS (ya know, where Ed lives now) have a corner on that "oligarch" market, ya?

Even that nutty Rand Paul--he of the squirrel on his head--thinks Saint Ed needs to do some time in jail. So does Independent Bernie Sanders. There aren't many people left who think Ed deserves a Get Out of Jail Free card, and that's because Ed is acting like an asshole, at a minimum, and like a FSB agent, in the worst light--in which case, unless he's stupid and cut a bad deal, he's the ULTIMATE One Percenter.

And talk about someone who gave up liberty for safety--if Eddie's not a Putin employee, he's in one of the biggest cages the world has to offer. His liberty is long gone, but he's safe as houses!
