So they know that I like to jerk off to big breasted women.

What are they going to do about it?

He's not in the army, so he won't be tried like Manning under military law. That's assuming he even gets extradited from Hong Kong, or that the Chinese don't nab him instead.

Glenn Greenwald scored a hell of a coup getting this interview.

And the hashtag #IStandWithEdwardSnowden is now trending in the US on Twitter.

What makes you think they want to try him in court anyway? The Chinese will likely kidnap him and make him disappear as a diplomatic favour to the US, or he'll be killed.

It'd be outrageous if the United States government just had one of their own (white) citizens killed overseas when everybody knows that they did it. I'm not sure how that'd look for Obama, and I don't think the Democratic Party really wants that on their record, especially given how publicized his story has just become. The problem with having the Chinese do it is that the United States would be suspected regardless, and I'm not sure we want him data-mined by the Chinese for NSA policy.

Unless the NSA / CIA has gone rogue, I think it'll be extradition and prosecution, not assassination.

There are ways to do it without them being blamed. Though he probably bought himself some more time because he released his name. The problem with extraditing him is how do you know how the court is going to react? In a military court, you basically get your wish every time. In a civilian court, he could win.

An assassination doesn't have to happen now, it can happen later after people have forgot. I assume he's going to leave Hong Kong at some point, so if he goes somewhere else (A non-US ally), it's probably a dangerous country where you can discretely dispose of him and make it look like an accident. People will suspect, but accusations without proof don't mean much.

To what end? The damage is done and this guy will have a hard time ever finding a job again. If he returns to the United States he'll be arrested and almost certainly do jail-time. I don't think the United States has to resort to a risky assassination attempt when the scandal will blow over on its own.

If you're willing to abandon your family, wife, and your $200,000 a year job, I don't think much else will deter you. There's no need to actually kill him.

Principles. Don't let someone live who jeopardizes national security . Also, not all assassinations have to have a dead body to find. He could just disappear, and it's easily believe that he just went into permanent hiding as it is to believe he died.
