Ex-CIA Director Says Snowden Should Be 'Hanged' For Paris Attacks (thehill.com)

SonicSpike writes with this excerpt from The HIll: A former CIA director says leaker Edward Snowden should be convicted of treason and given the death penalty in the wake of the terrorist attack on Paris. "It's still a capital crime, and I would give him the death sentence, and I would prefer to see him hanged by the neck until he's dead, rather than merely electrocuted," James Woolsey told CNN's Brooke Baldwin on Thursday. Woolsey said Snowden, who divulged classified information in 2013, is partly responsible for the terrorist attack in France last week that left at least 120 dead and hundreds injured. "I think the blood of a lot of these French young people is on his hands," he said.

This is not for you to decide, peon. The Ruling Elite alone has the authority to do tell what's "moral" from what is not. Now shut up and stop spreading dissent. You enjoy your life, don't you? Think how hard is to find a job in this economy before criticizing your betters.

Thing is, it is just crazy that the US even has the death penalty. It is even crazier for treason? WTF?

Currently the largest and most deadly terrorist organization on the planet is the USA.
