We haven't killed this guy yet? Damnit, where are my tax dollars going.

Snowden is a vile criminal, guilty of espionage. If he wants to say something, he can take the stand at his own trial as soon as that COWARD comes out of hiding and we arrest him. Until then, I'm not interested

You are saying to kill one of the best America has to offer, I hope you realize that.

Why would you want to murder someone who is loyal to America and acted to serve Americans only to protect a military industrial complex that isn't loyal to America but whose activities only serve narrow commercial and political interests and are protected by censorship so the public won't find out?

It's not treason to release information to the American public, that's not spying. But it is treason to withhold it in certain instances and I'm pretty sure if all classified data were subjected to a penetrating neutral and objective legal analysis some very high level prosecutions would turn out to be in order.

Listen to the interview, all of the trillions spent and the only actionable intelligence resulting was stuff like detecting an $8500 wire transfer made by a NYC cab driver. The national security state is patently ridiculous and is to hide evidence of institutionalized economic crimes from the public not to fight "terrorists".

No, it's classified so it can't come out in a trial. That is what they talk about at the end of the interview.
