Get a Rope

     Edward Snowden deserves no mercy.  This guy has undercut the efforts of the United States government to keep track of terrorist seeking to destroy our Nation.  America needs to be able to do secret things whose disclosures might damage the security it needs to protect it's citizens.  It also needs to be able to bind government employees and contractors so they don't make these disclosures.  Edward Snowden broke these commitments.
     Our privacy is routinely being violated by credit card companies, banks and a host of other entities.  If Snowden's disclosures had been limited to the private information of every day Americans I would have been a little more sympathetic towards him.  The government is not peeking into our windows and making a secret list  but Mr Snowden wants everyone to think so.  America owes this man nothing other than a hangman's noose.  The United States is not a Third World country or Banana Republic who's government is run by Fascist.  We need to punish people who betray the Nation's trust.
