Alright, Snowden update is here. Russia has granted the infamous NSA whistleblower, Edward Snowden, a year of asylum. He was in the Moscow airport for six weeks until being allowed to tiptoe into the foreign country ever so tacitly.
This is a blog and not a newspaper. So, I will give you my opinion. I am so excited and relieved he got asylum. Unlike our current liar-in-chief, I support whistleblowers. Obama ran on protecting whistleblowers back in 2008 but has flopped on the issue. Obama and his administration are "very disappointed" according to news reports over Russia's decision. I am very disappointed in the political leadership in Washington that are vehemently slandering Mr. Snowden as some malevolent traitor. He's not. The traitors are those in power in our Government. They betrayed the American people and violated their 4th Amendment rights. This was revealed to us by a true patriot.
Snowden's lawyer assures the media that he "is in a safe place." Whatever place that Edward Snowden is, we must remember that he has a place in our hearts and mind. He exposed corruption and reckless disregard of our Constitutional rights.
