Learn how to use commas, pal. And something taking courage doesn't make it right. It might take a lot of courage to fly a plane into a building, but I wouldn't celebrate the people who do it.
Teddy Graham There is a big difference, between murdering thousands of people and letting citizens know that thier tax dollars, are going to an agency, that spies on them. Despite what you might think, there is nothing more patriotic, than standing up to your own government, for the very citizens, it claims to serve. Unlike yourself, most citizens don't want to live in an Orwelllian society.
I was actually being helpful earlier. You need to get to grips with how commas are used because you are using them far too much. The issue with what he did is that it compromised sensitive methods which the intelligence services use to safeguard us from deadly threats. It is clear that we knew where the money was going; we simply did not know how it was being used. We have to expect a little bit of discretion as to the disclosure of sensitive information.
Dave Polynice very old and very very happy, hopefully. Let’s hope that us too. With the only difference that he won’t ever be truly dead, ‘cos that’s what happens with turly human heros! Long life, Snowden! THANK YOU!
How is that bizarre? Literally all organized crime syndicated are very protective and competitive over territory and their organization. Anyone who is a threat to them, they want harmed or killed. I see no difference here. The politicians want to keep their secretive empire in their control. so when some previously unknown person comes to try to destroy the facade of security, they go batshit crazy.
He's such a likable guy. And it's obvious to anyone with a brain that his intentions aren't malicious or even misplaced. He's extremely intelligent, knows what he's talking about and genuinely means it when he says he did what he did for moral reasons. I love my country but I fully support Snowden. He is NOT in the wrong.
Snowden is one of the only true patriots left. he acted because he saw the america he loved was becoming corrupt and criminal. He knows the constitution well and America's history too.
No, he didn't - he illegally leaked 1.5 million documents, most of which had specifics on actual foreign governments like Russia and China, North K, etc. And terrorists, nothing was shown to be wrong-doing, and nothing he didn't seek the appropriate whistleblowing channels.
The only harm he did, was to expose how Obama has not only been spying illegally on his own people, but all his so called "Friends" around the world too. Been 3 years, no one's started WW3. Things continued on as if it was no big deal. The sun didn't explode. The NSA are still tapping into everyone's dirty little lives to get their jollies. Trump - Give this guy his pardon, he's helping drain the swamp. You should hire him too.
It actually hasn't been spying on any US citizens. FAA Section 702 targets non-US persons under investigation for terrorism. Patriot act's section 215 collected bulk meta data - but is not protected under the 4th as it isn't content of any communication, nor are there any personal identifiers. Also, to be requested such BR documents a person must be under investigation.
Yeah and the Bible says “The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately Sick, who can understand it?” (jeremiah 17:9). This “Example” is a foolish one and an unwise one to follow then.
Example???? What is the example? Expose every flaw of the US government, move to Russia and help the world's most undemocratic regime INTERFERE IN THE 2016 ELECTION? Is that heroic to you?
lol Edward Snowden stumbled upon morally questionable information and instead of using it as leverage to work alongside intel workers, politicians and businesses, he exposed US intel potential to the world then moved to Russia. That's running away from duty not being a hero. He should have reformed the system, not offer himself to the services of an undemocratic regime. I mean, there's nothing preventing Putin from coercing him into espionage, he would have no option in fact but to be complicit to Putin.
If justice is served he will get the death penalty. Now i know its not our fault if we dont catch him because hes in Russia feeding them information from the nsa but maybe someday he will be an idiot and come back
Dexter - how am I ignorant for wanting a criminal to get whats coming. Its against the law to steal top secret information from the government. Thats not ignorant thats being American. If we just let this guy go other people will start doing what he did.
@@goodrug688 Yes, what he did was illegal, but he was the one who showed us that our government has violated our right to anonymity. Also, he should not be punished but rewarded. Because in this case, the rules established by our government are not relevant. If you do not recognize that, you are very superficial and that would mean that you are stupid and ignorant.
I would be ok with a law protecting whistleblower like this one when the government was the one breaking the law, but only if the government did something wrong otherwise is treason
Yes it is, according to the criminals anyway. And they are the ones who have most of the power. So if he goes back they will not give him a fair trial. They will find him guilty and lock him up. And very possibly torture him. They probably ideally want him dead. And they want to convince people that he is a traitor and a bad person.
nfcoard They'll find him guilty and lock him up because he's guilty lmao. The reason he doesn't come back isn't because he can't get a fair trial, that's bullshit, it's because he knows he's fucking guilty.
And the people of the USA can have GUNS to protect them against the government....... LOL NOT. People in the USA only use guns to shoot at themselfs. The GUNS where there to protect from the government. But people don't use them. So weird.
Derka Derka no shit we're still being spied on but without him we wouldn't have known and now if your smart you'll be safe on your phone and online in general.
When was America great? Thank you Snowden. Finally someone points out what's wrong with Trump's slogan. Snowden is a hero to America, he deserves to be pardoned or at the very least, a fair trial.
skills1ent The gov has had these spy capabilities even before 9/11 and couldn’t stop it. The gov has had the Patriot Act and emboldened the NSA for domestic spying and yet they can’t stop domestic terrorism. There is no geopolitical reason or domestic security that they are preserving. They are just violating the constitution to overreach with their authority.
skills1ent Being fallacious doesn’t change the fact that the gov spying hasn’t been effective in protecting people (as evident by the mass shooting epidemic) so it’s clearly just used to invade your private life. You can’t have agency if you’re not allowed to live privately. I’m sure you wouldn’t want me to know all your contacts, read all your emails etc., even if everything is innocent simply because I’m some random person you don’t know or trust. So why would you disregard that just because some official gov bureaucrat whose institutions have been mired in corruption?
f budd He had a choice to live other countries, he happen to go to America's enemy, Russia... And that doesn't send any red flags to you? Heroes take it up the ass, not cower.
As Snowden says and as the well-documented record reflects, he DID NOT CHOOSE Russia. He was trapped in a Moscow airport terminal during a flight stopover hoping to find political asylum elsewhere but was refused permission to leave, and after a month in the airport they decided to keep him & offer "temporary" asylum. He had no documents with him once he left the Guardian journalists in Hong Kong. Look into it.
but he cant leave Russia until Trump gives him full protection. he better stay in Russia.... and he knows it. because the FSB is not such a shithole like the CIA
TRAIDOR?Really Kathy Couric? I think you are old enough to know whos doing more damages to the country and the world because you too do not have honesty, transparency nor courage to ask honest questions that come from you but more from your ABC boss who tells you what to say and what not to say.... All of your answers sound more like CIA agent type of interogation because these sound more for government to review-NOT what people really wana ask Snowden Snowden is letting people know what he is doing for the benefit of people. Meanwhile on the other hand, are politicians doing same thing for me and the rest of the people around this globe? God Bless you Snowden. An example of honesty, transparency and courage. Something NO PRESIDENT HAS THEESE QUALITIES ANYMORE
I'm a Filipina, and his revelations about the U.S. Gov't violations not only in its people but also other countries made him a hero to the rest of the World.
I'm from India.I know nothing about America.But when i came across that US is spying on its own people,I was like .... :( But what Edward Snowden has done is the bravest thing no one can ever do. Someone should have guts to do this kind of thing. Edward Snowden is a HERO. I felt very bad when when India rejected the asylum. Anyways what Snowden did is 100% right. God save him.

Sounds like St. John chapter 8 verse 40. Now you know why those in power killed the man called Jesus 2000 years ago for telling people the truth about them. Then they took his words, turned them into a watered down version of what he really said, turned it into a religion, and killed all of our minds.
Both legal and right! They didn't obeid by the law the feds, Cia, NSA. they didn't follow rule of land and justice under our US constitution!! fucking A right its America Ed!! and I aint quitting!
I say Snowden did the right thing in his heart, but he had a " duty to protect the citizens under the Constitution!" He did his job above and beyond the Call of Duty
yoshihiro watanabe because he leaked how we catch people who do illegal thing. Nobody is looking at a computer and watching what you are doing right now
Yeah, NSA totally not spying on Brazilian Oil company on behalf of private US corporations. Pull your head out of your ass. As for Snowden: He shouldn't be pardoned. There is nothing he should be pardoned for. He should be paid hard cash for what he did.
Because the punishment we may receive is little compared to the positive outcome for our families and children when shining a light on something that is wrong.
It takes common sense to know what our Government is actually doing. This leak wasn't a surprise. Our Government has done a load of shady things in the past.
OK! I'm not an American, but i can definitely understand what being traitor is. Edward is for sure a patriot. Protecting your people is not traitor-ism.
I don’t think Edward should be arrested if he comes back to the US. He taught us more than any other computer expert and now we all know to be careful of what we type or post online. Thanks Edward!
During the Cold-War people outspoken and critics of the USSR and Communism would flee and live for a better life in the United States, how weird the world has become.
Anonymous? Lmaoooo. You are no anon, dude. How do I know? You said you were. Any true anon, would not openly say they were. They lurk in the SHADOWS and defend what is right, rather than stalking for likes. Keep on wearing your anon-tee and pretending like you know shit, hahahaha. Loser.
Ryan Koehler how would u all know NSA has been spying on the american people and the rest of the world without him? Hes the biggest hero of the new millennium
Well if you posit courage and conviction, and if you accept that he was trying to advance the public interest as he saw it, then hero pretty much falls in place.
The term hero is relative. Courage and conviction are not. We may argue over what makes a hero but we all recognise courage and conviction when we see it.
The interview was pre-recorded and edited, and then sent to the broadcasting station, from the location of the interview. It was not broacasted from that exact building, because one I doubt it's fitted for it, and two, even if it was there Snowden said he walked there. So now they have some random coordinates in Moscow to work with that is not the home of Edward Snowden. Snowden even said they should already know where he is, and I think that assumption coming from a former NSA agent is fairly reliable.
but if they know where he is why do they hisitate with capturing him? not that i think he should be captured. he is a hero who only did the right thing!
Magnus Juul Conducting a special ops mission on someone else's territory/borders is a big no no. Like Pakistan was really pissed when we got Bin Laden, and they were just Pakistan. Putin would not make things easy if we sent in special forces for Snowden

Snowden is a brave man that, like other before him, are keeping this country safe by their illeagal and outlandish acts. Well played Edward, well played.
Connor Dunn no, a journalist paraphrased him saying that. he did call him a traitor. and said we needed to get him back(put him in jail) because he embarrassed the US.
Dk Kevorkian He said he should recieve the punishment of a traitor which usually is the death penalty, although he didn't say word for word that he would use the death penalty. Although I don't think Snowden should be pardoned.
Snowden is incredibly intelligent. His reasoning on this clip is sound and right. He thinks and speaks like the best attorney. He cares about people who are victimized and has the integrity to stand up for what is right when he is making huge personal sacrifices.
If this country is a country of democracy, and the right way is still forward, and truth are not lies, then if this is really America, this man would be here not be sitting in Russia, he would be here in America, living, loving, standing not just as a man that is not considered a "criminal" but a man who has more Patriotism then our own President. Mr. Snowden is not here in America right now because we are all not in The Real America. Once the Real U.S.A. steps forward maybe Mr. Snowden can back. If he does not get pardoned for what he did for US the people then that day we will be in The "Real America"

My point is not that he's a murderer. It is simply that something being courageous is not sufficient to make something automatically "right".
But he is right. People have a right to know, where there tax money is going, expecially if it's to a nefarious program, designed to spy on them.

Both legal and right! They didn't obeid by the law the feds, Cia, NSA. they didn't follow rule of land and justice under our US constitution!! fucking A right its America Ed!! and I aint quitting!
I say Snowden did the right thing in his heart, but he had a " duty to protect the citizens under the Constitution!" He did his job above and beyond the Call of Duty
A hero who elected DONALD TRUMP
the BRAVE ONE who's not afraid of the consequences of telling the truth. I truly admire Mr. Snowden for this 🤓
Edward Snowden is an courageous hero who deserves to be pardoned #pardonsnowden
yoshihiro watanabe because he leaked how we catch people who do illegal thing. Nobody is looking at a computer and watching what you are doing right now
Yeah, NSA totally not spying on Brazilian Oil company on behalf of private US corporations. Pull your head out of your ass.
As for Snowden: He shouldn't be pardoned. There is nothing he should be pardoned for. He should be paid hard cash for what he did.
AWZool Presidential Award.
yoshihiro watanabe yes!
yoshihiro watanabe Whatever happened to Edward Snowden?
I love the way the most intelligent people choose the right thing to do even with Risks
Because the punishment we may receive is little compared to the positive outcome for our families and children when shining a light on something that is wrong.
*they
I will always respect this man forever 💯, he’s amazing and I want to thank him so much
Edward Snowden is an American patriot and hero!
He's a good man I always thought of him as a scumbag when I was an msm sheep, but once I did my research he's a patriot that wants to fight tyranny💯
Will Hanz
your eyes have been opened!
right on!
research means watched the movie once a sheep aways a sheep
It takes common sense to know what our Government is actually doing. This leak wasn't a surprise. Our Government has done a load of shady things in the past.
Gotta say Joseph Gordon Levitt nailed his role !
Much respect Mr Snowden. The ones who are not blind stand beside you. 💪🏾
Snowden is a hero, plain and simple, and a really brave man. ,.
Respect Snowden. He is certainly a hero
That’s a MAN, He said I will do again if I have opportunity, No Regret!
This man is a hero!!! Not a criminal! USA USA USA!!!!
Snowden REAL AMERICAN patriot. God bless you.
OK! I'm not an American, but i can definitely understand what being traitor is.
Edward is for sure a patriot. Protecting your people is not traitor-ism.
Not only does this man deserve a pardon, he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize!
Only in a fair world.
Who watched this after watching the "Snowden" movie?
Hydro yep
Hydro I watch Snowden as much as possible. before, and after the movie.
Hydro meee
ooooo ooooo me me
Nope
I don’t think Edward should be arrested if he comes back to the US. He taught us more than any other computer expert and now we all know to be careful of what we type or post online. Thanks Edward!
What a smart dude
And there's so many more just like him too scared to risk their career
During the Cold-War people outspoken and critics of the USSR and Communism would flee and live for a better life in the United States, how weird the world has become.
He’s gorgeous and amazing!!!
I'm glad he let the people of this country know that our rights to privacy mean nothing. he is not a hero or a traitor. he is a truth teller.
HERO Long live Snowden 💪🏽💪🏽
Snowden is my hero, we as Anonymous, need more people like him!
Anonymous? Lmaoooo. You are no anon, dude. How do I know? You said you were. Any true anon, would not openly say they were. They lurk in the SHADOWS and defend what is right, rather than stalking for likes. Keep on wearing your anon-tee and pretending like you know shit, hahahaha. Loser.
If Edward Snowden is a trader to the U.S, then so is Katie Couric....
i love traders
Nobody loves traders more than me. Better believe it.
How do you feel about Trader Joe's? They have some good deals.
Lots of traders in fallout 4.
Tommy Bones Do you think he will be happy to make trade deals with the U.K, following the Brexit vote?
Long live this man! Friend of the revolution!
Bro saved us and media has audacity to call him anything else but HERO.
#snowdenforpresident
He is outstanding - as a US citizen
Snowden isn't necessarily a hero, but he is a man of courage and conviction. I appreciate it
Ryan Koehler how would u all know NSA has been spying on the american people and the rest of the world without him? Hes the biggest hero of the new millennium
Well if you posit courage and conviction, and if you accept that he was trying to advance the public interest as he saw it, then hero pretty much falls in place.
Vivek Rao yes.
The term hero is relative. Courage and conviction are not. We may argue over what makes a hero but we all recognise courage and conviction when we see it.
You guys forget how Snowden expose how much control we have with China and Japan lol .. yes a hero sadly a tratior too d:
I love him... I would love to see the unedited version.
"When was America great?" -i was laughing at that so hard :)
Edward Snowden is a hero, case closed.
This man is a hero.
The only problem is America forgets these truths to fast and continues allowing the government to do whatever.
Hero point blank period ☺️
If you're doing an interview on mainstream media's ABC with Katie Couric, they know the exact lateral and longitudinal coordinates of where you are.
don't say that!
The interview was pre-recorded and edited, and then sent to the broadcasting station, from the location of the interview. It was not broacasted from that exact building, because one I doubt it's fitted for it, and two, even if it was there Snowden said he walked there. So now they have some random coordinates in Moscow to work with that is not the home of Edward Snowden.
Snowden even said they should already know where he is, and I think that assumption coming from a former NSA agent is fairly reliable.
but if they know where he is why do they hisitate with capturing him? not that i think he should be captured. he is a hero who only did the right thing!
Magnus Juul Conducting a special ops mission on someone else's territory/borders is a big no no. Like Pakistan was really pissed when we got Bin Laden, and they were just Pakistan. Putin would not make things easy if we sent in special forces for Snowden
Not if it isn't streamed live..
Edward Snowden said, nothing will ever change in America.
much respect to snowden.
Snowden is an American hero!
A real hero for freedom and humanity !
I vote Snowden a hero of the world!
Like if you agree!
if he needs a place to stay are you going to risk hiding him..lol
Edward Snowden is one of the greatest patriots of modern times. He should be granted a full pardon by Obama or Trump.
furballbear
Trump is definitely not going to pardon him.
Did you watch the video? He hates Snowden.
Any man who hates Snowden is no friend of mine.
Both presidents are not for humanity!
@@fionacornish3409 Maybe Biden will pardon Snowden before leaving office.
“Right or wrong is different standard than legal or illegal”
Snowden is a hero in my eyes.
multiply you with a billion and you will got it.
He is our HERO
EDWARD SNOWDEN AND ROBERT - BOBY FISHER ARE ONLY WHITE MEN WHO DO NOT HAVE ANY FEAR AND SPIT IN PUBLIC IN THE FACES OF ULTRA DEGENERATED SYSTEM WHICH THEY MANAGED TO ESCAPE.
@@kozjevime1 😂Stop pasting the same comment 100 times
He's a hero as well... The government in they lies... Keep it coming Snowden...
Snowden is a hero.
Snowden is a brave man that, like other before him, are keeping this country safe by their illeagal and outlandish acts. Well played Edward, well played.
He put his life on the line to get the lies we were told out.
Snowden is a hero
Trump should pardon him.
Dk Kevorkian Trump said he's a traitor who should be executed.
Connor Dunn no, a journalist paraphrased him saying that. he did call him a traitor. and said we needed to get him back(put him in jail) because he embarrassed the US.
Dk Kevorkian He said he should recieve the punishment of a traitor which usually is the death penalty, although he didn't say word for word that he would use the death penalty. Although I don't think Snowden should be pardoned.
Connor Dunn He deserves no worse of punishment than Hillary Clinton.
Dk Kevorkian They both deserve to be punished.
Good job Edward thanks for the info some of us already had our suspicions
Just a word ..He is a Hero liberty
Snowden is incredibly intelligent. His reasoning on this clip is sound and right. He thinks and speaks like the best attorney. He cares about people who are victimized and has the integrity to stand up for what is right when he is making huge personal sacrifices.
I believe Edward is so brave. To give everything up. I salute you Edward from the uk
He is amazing! he should be pardoned! Sadly now it's going to be hard cause we have Trump😤
rezwana vin
No trades for Snowflake..
rezwana vin Trump will pardon Snowden
Snowden is the hero of American nation. they pardon him or not he won't give a damn. that's how heroes do!
Thank you Edward, you are a great men. I stay on your side. Blessings.
I LOVE YOU EDWARD
I LOVE YOU MAN
The true definition of legal is the undoing of natural law....
Respect Edward Snowdon
What a beautiful Interview
....Snowden did want his scared colleges wouldn't do. He said, "enough is enough." No Marvel character can compete with you, Your a real super hero!
Hero.
If this country is a country of democracy, and the right way is still forward, and truth are not lies, then if this is really America, this man would be here not be sitting in Russia, he would be here in America, living, loving, standing not just as a man that is not considered a "criminal" but a man who has more Patriotism then our own President.
Mr. Snowden is not here in America right now because we are all not in The Real America.
Once the Real U.S.A. steps forward maybe Mr. Snowden can back. If he does not get pardoned for what he did for US the people then that day we will be in The "Real America"
