NATIONAL SECURITY - Latest on Traitor Edward Snowden

Note the use of "traitor" in my post title.  Snowden IS a traitor because; he signed a contract NOT to revile secrets (and he does not get to decide what is secret or not), he flew our country, AND is not willing to take the consequences of his actions.  If he was patriotic, he would have been willing to take the consequences.
