Urge Clemency
for Edward Snowden!"
***
(I'm amazed by
this stand by these two Great Papers!
And to a certain extent I definitely stand
with them on this position!)
...
............
*Heroic Whistle Blower*
......."Edward Snowden is a heroic whistle-blower who exposed wrongdoing by U.S. government spy agencies and deserves clemency — or even a full pardon from President Barack Obama.
..*Drop the Trial Threat*
.......That’s the argument in a pair of editorials published on Thursday by the New York Times and Britain's the Guardian newspaper, pressing Obama to drop his insistence that the former National Security Agency contractor end his exile in Russia and come home to face trial.
..
*Exposing Ongoing Deliberate Lawbreaking*
..
*Exposing Ongoing Deliberate Lawbreaking*
......."When someone reveals that government officials have routinely and deliberately broken the law, that person should not face life in prison at the hands of the same government," the Times argued.

*Exceeding It's Mandate*

*Exceeding It's Mandate*
.......The Times declared that Snowden's disclosures — the largest unauthorized publication of national security secrets in U.S. history — had proven that the NSA has "exceeded its mandate and abused its authority."
......."He may have committed a crime to do so, but he has done his country a great service," the Times argued. "It is time for the United States to offer Mr. Snowden a plea bargain or some form of clemency that would allow him to return home, ... and have the hope of a life advocating for greater privacy and far stronger oversight of the runaway intelligence community."
.......While the Times stopped short of calling for a full pardon, the Guardian did not. "It is difficult to imagine Mr. Obama giving Mr. Snowden the pardon he deserves," the daily wrote.
..
*Return with Dignity*
*Return with Dignity*
......."We hope that calm heads within the present administration are working on a strategy to allow Mr. Snowden to return to the U.S. with dignity,... and in a manner that would be a shining example about the valueof whistleblowers and of free speech itself," the Guardian said. ..."
