A pretty inspiring exchange.

Boy, you can just feel Snowden's intense hatred for America dripping off the page.

Like I said.. i'm still torn on whether or not what Snowden did was the right thing or not... although him applying for asylum in a few dictatorial countries still has me concerned.

He applied for asylum everywhere. America won't let him go anywhere else. His only hope of evading capture is to earn asylum from an "enemy" of American government or with a country who we have pissed off. He can't leave Russia because his passport was revoked mid flight.

Where is he supposed to go? Back to America where he will wait months for trial in a cell? Every whistleblower in American has said he is making the correct decision. Now we have former Senators saying the same thing. Human rights organizations agree as well.
