Reply to Eli's child post, for some reason there is no reply link under his comment:

I am confused by responses such as yours that only consider Snowden and not the public release of information about the NSA. I don't argue that Snowden should not get a year in jail after a fair trial. I personally think he has done the world a service and should get a walk, but a minimal jail sentence would be fair.

The NSA leaks are a big deal, and I believe an opportunity for our country to get its act together. Anyway, thanks for your comment.

So, I assume that you don't agree that our government would coerce foreign politicians. I wish that I could agree with you, but I can't.
