If Obama wanted to start redeeming himself to what was his progressive base, he would pardon Mr. Snowden, award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize. All true freedom-loving patriots would appreciate this. Of course, it'll never happen, and in the long view of history, Mr. Obama will be seen as one of the bad guys. Sad.
Can't say it any better than Caveat M. Tor did. Its just really, really sad. Obama could have made a difference, but continually chooses the low road. Merry Xmas and thank you Mr. Snowden.
Thank you, Edward – although the real expression of thanks will come from your fellow (world) citizens actively expressing their outrage at the facts you have brought to light – AND at the way you are being treated by the US government. I hope we prove ourselves worthy of you. I do believe you will be welcomed back to the US before too long.
And hire him as a personal liberties and internet security czar. If Obama had half the brains and moral sense that his blind, deaf, and dumb fans ascribe to him.
Today I put aside my contempt for Neocon flunkies, AIPAC, US Military Industrial Complex, Prison Industrial Complex, Homeland Security boondoggle, racist cops shooting kids, and hack politicians.
I wish Mr. Snowden, and the supporters of AntiWAR.com a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and whatever other customs being celebrated during this time of year.
[…] to take a moment out of his busy schedule of demolishing the Surveillance State to give us slaves a heartfelt Christmas greeting. Please take a moment out of your busy day celebrating our annual orgy of consumerism and gluttony […]
We must never treat the human being as a mere object. Stealing one's privacy through spying does that, and degrades all of us. We must condemn such actions in the strongest possible terms.
We, the People, convey a sincere 'thank you,' for having the integrity, the nous, the moral stamina, to act on everyone's behalf. By cultivating a surveillance 'norm,' Empire compels a degeneration–a fragmenting–of the Community, as both a material and cognitive fact (THE essential fact of our lives).
We dig you–for what you accomplished, and for the constitutional values you hold dear (these are, in truth, 'of a piece'…).

Edward–
We, the People, convey a sincere 'thank you,' for having the integrity, the nous, the moral stamina, to act on everyone's behalf. By cultivating a surveillance 'norm,' Empire compels a degeneration–a fragmenting–of the Community, as both a material and cognitive fact (THE essential fact of our lives).
We dig you–for what you accomplished, and for the constitutional values you hold dear (these are, in truth, 'of a piece'…).
Peace, brother…
