Hi, I was reading up on Snowden in wikipedia, and I saw something interesting. The articles says:

~~~
Snowden's legal representative, Jesselyn Radack, wrote that "the Espionage Act effectively hinders a person from defending himself before a jury in an open court." She said that the "arcane World War I law" was never meant to prosecute whistleblowers, but rather spies who betrayed their trust by selling secrets to enemies for profit. Non-profit betrayals were not considered.
~~~

I just want to get some opinion on this. Is the act outdated? Is it really being used to prosecute whistleblowers? What is the act to you? Do you think Snowden should be found guilty under it?

Lets discuss.

If the usa got their hands on snowden he'd be dead.

He exposed a lot of their illusions.

like Cell Phones,.. If you can do it, They can do it.
If you can take pictures, they can take pictures (with your cell phone)
If you can record audio, they can record audio (with your cell phone)
Etc etc

Geo tracking is not a new tech and selling geo tracking data is big business.

e- So furthermore,.. Tracking is a broad industry of avenues.
What websites you visits
what ads you click
what you buy, what credit card you use to buy it with
the list goes on.

They are selling our future.

e- average people believe they are innocently traversing the world wide web,.. when they are actually giving data about themselves to companies, governments, etc

e- even logging into d2jsp I'm sending tracking data. My messages here can be traced back to me and possibly even used against me.

Snowden is a patriot and an American Hero.
Is it any wonder they hate him for it?
