Is Snowden a patriot or a traitor? Should President Obama pardon him, as he's asking in this CNN story?

I'll cast the first no vote as soon as I post this question. Just so you know.

Doesn't he have to be tried and convicted first.

He was tried and convicted (in my mind) when he ran.

No. If he gets away with it once, he'll do it again.

I think we need to keep him employed so that Counterintelligence people have work to do? No, I think he should be the first person in the new Tank Gunnery Range Target Flag. He may carry the flag of his choice on a tank range...down range. Targets need love too! (Gunners love targets!)

Yes! As our industrial military complex private sector and corrupt look other way elements in govt or DOD. As a citizen, independent and Veteran ! Snowden and Manning need to be pardon and not manipulated. Truth is truth! Manning had no way to report on the level of war crimes and killing of innocence! Because that video of our choppers killing innocent Iraq’s and reporters and then not treating wounded is a crime! Moral crime ! The fact our system is going over our sovereignty to abuse our technology with our private lives! Snowden had no choice. Govt/DOD is known to shut down anyone who speaks morally bad about us. That’s not a muture way of accepting facts and how to better ourselves or we are just as bad as Russia, China, Saudi’s Arabia, Turkey and all other country’s that look the other way and respect our citizens freedoms and those of others that are humans.. so Chelsea Manning needs to be released and Snowden as well. It’s called checks and balances .. I’m good to keep check and balances .. and there’s so much bullshit being hidden from us. We swore to serve and protect.. that goes not mean the reputation of the DOD but of the citizens of our diverse country in the modern age and beyond..

CW5 (Join to see) Id have to agree with Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS as he said it better than I could have. I think he should be prosecuted if he ever returns. No pardons.

I would say if president Obama doesn't prosecute Snowdon Will get away with it and more people are would probably to do the same thing.so put him away and throw the key far away.
