Week 4 EOC; Snowden

In all honesty it seems a bit ridiculous that the US can consider the fact that Snowden, being allowed asylum in Russia, be a threat to all the progress the both have made toward a better relation. I do however agree with certain ideas Snowden has put out into the world.  Some may agree that Snowden should be thanked for leaking the info for it has raised many controversies as to the gravity of the nation’s reaction to the release of private information.  Edward Snowden is seen by some as a humanitarian and as a result the president of Venezuela has gone as far as to offer humanitarian asylum after, according to McClatchy.com politics Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, also in Russia, similarly praised Snowden and said he deserves a “humanitarian medal” for exposing the NSA’s extensive spy network.(Read more here: http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2013/07/02/195637/snowden-in-legal-limbo-his-flight.html#storylink=cpy).  In  many ways I truly agree. Not knowing is easier than living with the truth. And although it is stated that Snowden might not actually be humanitarian he is however an eye opener. The US is raising red flag knowing that like they use our info, people having US info can be used as a weapon against the United States as stated on NBC’s  world news. "Edward Snowden will potentially do great damage to U.S. national security interests and the information he is leaking could aid terrorists and others around the world who want to do real harm to our country. Russia must return Snowden to face trial at home." http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/08/01/19815210-snowden-asylum-threatens-us-russia-talks?lite  having said so, could this be a small hint that he could be charged with treason to the state. He was however found with more than one fault to the states and the law.
