@ISIDEWITH9yrs
Yes, he should be protected under the Whistleblower Protection Act
@ISIDEWITH9yrs
No, he should be returned to the U.S. to stand trial and face the consequences of his actions
@ISIDEWITH9yrs
No, but investigate the CIA and NSA directors as well
@595JX2P2yrs
Edward Snowden is an american hero for exposing all the corruption in our government. He should be granted immunity and protected
@4YBKK3V2yrs
If the government forgives Hillary Clinton it should forgive Snowden.
@594K78C2yrs
If Hillary Clinton can do it then why can't he. Fix the system.
@5DY9RNC2yrs
Yes, he should be protected under the Whistleblower Protection Act, and the directors of the CIA and NSA should be investigated.
@4YBTSWZ2yrs
No, he should be tried, but should he be convicted, he should be granted a pardon. We have a duty to uphold the law, and see justice prevail, but also a duty to see heroes are rewarded. This solution would address both issues at the same time.

The whistleblower act is for private corps. He needs to be an example of. Do not give up US surveillance secrets numb nuts.
No, but he should be returned to the U.S., stand trial, face the consequences of his actions; the CIA and NSA directors should be investigated too
@95M53KW1wk
Depending on how he's been acting and if he would do it again his deed that cause him to be put in jail.
Yes, he and Julian Assange should be protected under the Whistleblower Protection Act
@95LCGPT1wk
Yes,but only if the information was never passed over to foreign sources.
@95K7BH71wk
Yes,because he's actions did not motive him to pass the information over to foreign sources.
Only for the whistle blowing, he should be tried for fleeing, and the listed agencies should be investigated.
Yes he should be investigated along with the CIA and the NSA
No, he should be tried and, if convicted, then pardoned by the President.
@95BNVM72wks
No!! But, he should be returned to the U.S. and face a fair trial judged against the constitution to reason if his actions revealed government's violation of federal law, and if so, then the government and its respective authority should be convicted, and if Edward Showden did indeed damage U.S. security interests while the government was abiding by constitutional law, then Edward Snowden should be convicted for treason.
@959K74L2wks
Yes,because treasonous actions were not involved with the information passed over to American sources.
Yes, he should be protected under the Whistleblower Protection Act and we need to investigate the CIA and NSA directors instead.
@957QQY73wks
Yes,because the information was passed over to American sources.
@952MLSF3wks
No, because Snowden still broke the chain of command and possibly the law by revealing classified information to the public. While I do believe the information brought forward by Snowden, Snowden is still not 100% free.
@94Z37B43wks
Yes,because he gave the information over to American sources.
@94Y4FC23wks
No, only due to leaking national security secrets.

@94HTLQJ1mo
Grant him immunity only if it is confirmed that he is not a spy for a foreign government, and the release of the documents he stole did not put any of our security (CIA agents) in danger. Also, investigate the CIA and NSA directors as well.

Yes, he should be protected under the Whistleblower Protection Act and the government should investigate the CIA and NSA directors instead
