Snowden: No chance of fair trial
The man who admitted leaking classified documents about U.S. surveillance programs purportedly went online live on Monday to declare the truth would come out even if he is jailed or killed, and said President Barack Obama did not fulfill his promises and expanded several "abusive" national security initiatives.
According to the Guardian newspaper, Edward Snowden (pictured) answered questions in an online chat about why he revealed details of the National Security Agency's secret surveillance of U.S. citizens.
Snowden said he did so because Obama campaigned for the presidency on a platform of ending abuses. But instead, he said Obama "closed the door on investigating systemic violations of law, deepened and expanded several abusive programs, and refused to spend the political capital to end the kind of human rights violations like we see in Guantanamo, where men still sit without charge."

HOW MADE BRINS TO EAT.
SORRY CNN WE HAVE PROBLEMS TO WRITE THE SOFT WARE IRRADITE TROGTH OUR BODY.
If I were on the jury, I would vote for a medal of valor. Time to repeal the Patriot Act and increase unemployment by shutting the NSA down. All my life I heard about how bad Russia snooped on its citizens and now my country is the worst on the entire planet. Shame on the NSA, Obama, and Congress.
NASTY DENOUNCE.
did the right thing
butt
He did the right thing. Leaking this information is only the tip of the iceberg. The government has been hiding so much more than we'll ever know. It's a corrupt system that's well dressed. They treat people like sheep and do whatever they want.
he did the right telling this information
Right..
He did indeed!
I don't know how people are so blinded by politics not to denounce a TRAITOR! Our secrets should not be revealed to the world. We have had National Security since the first president!
Snowden should be awarded a medal for having the courage to do what he did. As should Julian Assange.
I would love for u to put are school on cnn news on november 6th on Wednesday the school is called portage central elementary and we are the comets and the class is named mrs. Hendreson pplease it would be a award! by the why are school watches cnn please if do say it was by Avril elliott
Thank you,Avril
Seriously? This is the United States. There is always a legal way to expose something wrong. Yeah, the US has corruption, inefficiency, even a broken legal system etc. etc. but that is one thing, one single thing it does have – a rule of law, and endless channels and lawyers to choose from. Yeah, the US is messed up relative to Utopia or the Philosophical kingdom of Plato's 'Republic' but compared to the rest of the world, it DOES have options for at least STARTING a legal pathway. Snowden isn't a hero. He's a traitor.
Leunderground: unfortunately the US has no longer the legal way. The chopper incident, being a crime against humanity, is a good example. Killing innocent civilians should be punished, in public. The US government has put themselves besides the law. One of your founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin to whom you own your freedom, said already that he who is willing to trade a bit of freedom, to gain a bit of security deserves neither of them. Since the Patriot Act, the US has lost all reason and all freedom. A society in decline.
This is just not right. Snowden should have a fair trial. This is the problem with America today ...
Just like Daniel Ellsberg (if that name means nothing to you please look it up), I think history will ultimately paint Mr. Snowden as a hero. As a country we flaunt to the world the freedoms we have to think and act, but that's not true, is it? Having the fear of someone looking over your shoulder for what you say and think is by definition a loss of freedoms. Social courtesies and outrage aside (eg you can't yell fire in a crowded theatre), the concept of 'fairness' and freedoms has come to mean something much smaller than it was even ten years ago. Please don't assign these words to any political side or ideology, I am not assigning them to anyone; just look around and see if they are right.
