It's easy to ask for Snowden to be more vocal against the Russian government when you are not a) in Russia, b) treated as a terrorist by your country and c) in the constant fear of Russia dropping their support for you. The man just became a father, cut him some slack, he lost everything once.

For us this means taking what Snowden has to say about the Russian government with a bucket of salt.

Why cutting some slack for somebody who knew what he was getting into, all while using his family circumstances as a vehicle for appealing for compassion in the matter unrelated to his family status at all?
