General Discussion

"Tell me. If you were Snowden, facing the choices available to him, where would you be hiding out?"

...no. If I believed in what I was doing, and absolutely certain that I was serving the greater good. I would not flee the country. In fact, I would risk conviction to remain in this country. With all the organizations and people focused on whistleblowing, I'd have prepared to take advantage of all defense and support.

The problem for Snowden is that he didn't just want to reveal information on the NSA domestic spying program, he was determined to reveal U.S. state secrets to other countries.

Let me ask you this, focusing on just the domestic program: If you believed you were doing the right thing, would you face the consequences?


If Snowden's case as a whistleblower is so strong, why is he afraid to face the consequences?
