It depends on who is investigating the directors.
Deleted4yrs4Y
It was a good thing that the information got out but he also put out information that is a matter of national security.
Deleted4yrs4Y
He jeopardized the national security of our country but he also helped inform the citizens about things.
@9334YP33yrs3Y
Yes, unlike Julian Assange and Bradley Manning, Edward Snowden should be protected under the Whistleblower Protection Act.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Yes, free Edward Snowden AND free Julian Assange!

@8RPPVM64yrs4Y
I don't a stance on this issue.
@92YHQCV3yrs3Y
Yes, and he should be protected under the Whistleblower Protection Act. Plus, we should be investigating the CIA and NSA directors too.
@84JHJXZ4yrs4Y
Yes, but whistleblowers like Snowden should bring their concerns to liberty-minded Congressmen like Mike Lee, Rand Paul, Thomas Massie, and Justin Amash instead of bringing them to foreign governments
@78S5M875yrs5Y
pardon anyone who commits a non-violent offense, or who isnt a threat to themselves, society or the security of our country.
@89SH3SL4yrs4Y
Yes, and charge James Clapper with perjury
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
No, he should be returned to the U.S. and granted a fair trial. The CIA and NSA directors should be investigated as well
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
No, he should be extradited to the U.S. and granted a fair trial
@8H2544S4yrs4Y
it was good that he said something but not to russia
@8HH7SLB4yrs4Y
Not knowledgeable enough
@8JN5ZTL4yrs4Y
I don´t know enough information to make a decision
@8RTRNSW4yrs4Y
No; Edward Snowden was under contract not to release classified files and therefore broke an official agreement.
@8S8BLMN4yrs4Y
No, he should be returned to the U.S. to stand trial and face the consequences of his actions along with the directors at the CIA and NSA.
@8SG6GF54yrs4Y
Yes but he needs to be charged with a tremendous fine and his passport surrendered.
@8SLNGKB4yrs4Y
He was doing the right thing but he did it in an awful way.
@8TWB9FX4yrs4Y
No, I think he should be returned to the US and be granted a fair trial.
@8VC7WDN4yrs4Y
Protect Snowden under the Whistleblower Protection Act and harshly investigate the CIA and NSA. Their polticization cannot be allowed to go on any further.
@8WWSZZX3yrs3Y
He should return to the U.S. under the grant that he can have a free, fair, and public trial where he may disclose what he knows.
@8WTYMK33yrs3Y
The question is no longer relevant.
@8YDDQXR3yrs3Y
it depends on if hes better or not.
@8ZCGKPD3yrs3Y
No, he should be publicly executed for treason
@9344LDW3yrs3Y
Yes, investigate the CIA and NSA as a whole instead
