I believe it was James Madison who said that every citizen has the duty to report any violation of the constitution of whether by a citizen or the government itself.

James Clapper lied to Congress and the nation and there were no prosecutions. Every crime that endangers the US Govt is a national security issue and must be censored as a national security issue because any loss of credibility is a danger to the nation.

There is no more right to trial by jury any longer. Americans will surrender every right they have if they get their cage rattled a little.

I don't consider him a hero or a traitor. I think he did the right thing. It was the only way to make the information available to the public with a lawless government where elites like David Petraeus and Clapper walk for crimes that would land anyone else in prison.

The US Government has never been able to say how Snowden endangered anyone. They just tell you to take their word for it. We can't give you any information because if you knew what we were doing the country would collapse.
