Snowden: I'm Not Suspended

makes you wonder how bad a country has to be in order to force one to go to "another country run by a criminal syndicate" just to expose shit that should never happen. It's the spiderman triple meme all along.

Ah, right, there's only one side of it.

Harriet Tubman was also a criminal and she is going to be on the 20 dollar bill soon. Sometimes the law is wrong.

Snowden would have been complicit in his employer's malicious activities if he had not blown the whistle. I wish more people in his position (in the US, Russia, and everywhere else) would be as brave as he was. Nobody should just obey the law or follow orders. That's what made all the greatest atrocities in our history possible.

Regardless, there is no 'rule of law' when the government sees you as its enemy.

> He sought refuge in a country run by a criminal syndicate that is presided over by a madman

Did he have any other countries that were willing to accept him (and massively piss off the US as a result)?
