[Hoot Gibson]

It doesn't surprise me that two of you here take up for a person that illegally leaks classified intelligence.

It doesn't surprise me that you are blindly defending Obama again for no good reason other than the big "D" by his name. If by taking up for this person, you mean pointing out the illogical partisan conclusions that you immediately jumped to, then I guess I am guilty. This guy is not some idiot who just hung out and smoked your "miracle drug" until he flunked out of high school.

Snowden broke the law and he should be prosecuted for it. I am sympathetic to this guy because he had good reason to believe that blowing the whistle through the proper channels in this corrupt administration would have surely led to the same kind of retribution that other whistleblowers have experienced.

Besides disclosing highly classified information, it also bothers me that Snowden chose to identify himself as the source of the NSA leaks while standing on Chinese soil. He seems like a very intelligent man but his belief that the Chinese will ignore his presence because he is in Hong Kong strikes me as naive. If the Chinese believe that Snowden might be able to give them a directory of all NSA operatives in the world, then I would be expecting company any minute.

Regardless of what happens to Snowden, it is moronic to trust that all of those Obama political hacks who have security clearances will not misuse the data that they are collecting, if they are not already doing so. If they are using it, then it might explain John Roberts surprising swing vote in favor of Obamacare.
