Snowden

The only crime is the government violating its people's rights.

America has become a tyranical hell on par with Stalinist Russia or Nazi Germany.

Google, Facepoop, and Shitter, are the real "traitors" by aiding the regime to violate the American people's rights.

This just keeps getting better.

The Russian Foreign Minister just told Obama, woops I mean Amercia, to fuck off.

If Assange has a case to answer in Sweden that would be reasonable for him to defend but he knows that once in Sweden the US would do anything legal or illegal to get their hands on him.

The US legal authorities are continuing to behave as if the whole world is theirs. If they can get their hands on anyone, anywhere, they will prosecute them in the US even if what was done was not a crime where it was done.

Whether Assange or Snowden are guilty has yet to be proved but if they were in the US they wouldn't get a fair trial. They would be treated like Bradley Manning or the Guantanamo inmates.

The US are behaving just like Britain used to behave when we had an Empire - We're the greatest; we're always right; and sod your legal and human rights; but if you try something similar on one of our citizens we'll send in the Marines.

Agreed and well said. There are still prisoners at Guantanamo that haven't even been charged yet.
