Yeah both Dems and GOP are pissed he outed one of the governments big secrets - they're spying on other Americans. Politicians should feel embarrassed.

Harry Reid: 'Snowden is a traitor' - Hit & Run : Reason.com

As insipid commentators such as Thomas L. Friedman encourage NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden to come on home to the Land of the Free and subject himself to the "fair-mindedness of the American people," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) has provided another reminder that the people who actually hold power in this country would prefer to throw Snowden into a dark cage. Here's Reid in a Q&A with the Reno Gazette-Journal:


Q: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has said National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden should be prosecuted to the fullest extent. Do you agree?

A: I think Snowden is a traitor, and I think he has hurt our country, and I hope someday he is brought to justice.

Screw them all. Snowden only provided proof for what most of us already knew or suspected. If they can't handle being outed as power-hungry obsessives then they can all go suck eggs.

..oh my ...now even the HERITAGE FOUNDATION is siding with Obama..."Snowden should go to jail and be punished"

Ah, no. People are pissed because he outed how we spy on the Russians, the Chinese, other nation states, and how we protect our troops from Taliban attacks in Afghanistan. PRISM is a very small part of what that smug little bastard put out.

Well that is nicer than what I would go with, but I suppose they felt the need to be PC on it.

There's already a Snowden thread. How many do we need?

I honestly don't know what you are talking about.

Actually, I was about to start a new one based on the news that someone in the CIA is saying that Snowden has been in contact with the Russians since 2007. But if we are running short of electrons I can make do.

Snowden isn't a traitor for leaking documents, he's a traitor for defecting to Russia and becoming a PR stunt for Russia.
