Yet now every news network is calling him a whistle blower, and a betrayer of our country. Personally, I don't think he should be charged with any crimes ... but obviously our government doesn't care what we think.
Yet you two don't fully understand why the are saying he betrayed his country. Along with telling us and releasing information show us the U.S. citizen our country is spying on us (which I do agree with) he went one step further and released information regarding spying being done on other countries. Now tI myself think he went to far and did betray his country on this point. Now both of you think about this, Those documents he leaked could put many people in danger because he leaked them. If you **** was hanging out on the wire would you want someone to throw your **** to the wolves? He was wrong in sharing intelligence and spying information done on other countries and should be held accountable for that.Jordan said:He did not betray the people of the country as the people have the right to know these kind of things. However, he did betray the country as a nation as nonetheless, it is still illegal to do such things and have heavy crimes against it.
