USA Calling For the Extradition of Snowden

Taco Cowboy writes "Edward Snowden, the leaker who gave us the evidence of US government spying on its people is under threat of being extradited back to the U.S. to face prosecution. Some people in Congress, including Republican Peter King (R-NY), are calling for his extradition from Hong Kong to face trial. From the article: 'A spokesman for the director of national intelligence, James Clapper, said Snowden's case had been referred to the justice department and US intelligence was assessing the damage caused by the disclosures. "Any person who has a security clearance knows that he or she has an obligation to protect classified information and abide by the law," the spokesman, Shawn Turner, said.'"

    Are you going to petition your own corrupt government? The time for petitions is over. You have to man up, impeach Obama, and judge him and all his cronies for crimes against humanity.

    This is what you've been keeping your beloved guns for. Use them.

    If you think that is an appropriate course of action you might as well just pray that he is pardoned. It has the same chance of success and is just as useful.
