Snowden says he would agree to a plea deal!

He wants life in prison off the table in any deal but that is the usual punishment for his type of crime. How much time to serve would you offer him other than life?
 

Seriously? Snowden is a traitor... Isn't stealing National secrets and taking them to China... then Russia a crime in your book? It certainly is in mine... He should stay in Russia.... and enjoy his freedom... such as it is..
 
I, like many others, respectfully disagree. I believe he is a true patriot. This socialist believes governments should be held to account. I only hope, in a similar situation, I would have half his courage. I love my country, Canadians are hugely patriotic. But it is incumbent upon us to expose heinous practices when they are done in our name. With my last breath, I will shout "J'accuse" if it is warranted. I will not countenance fascist acts. National secrets is often a catchall to cover anything a
particular government wishes to pretend did not occur.
 
I applaud Mr Snowden and Chelsea Manning for their courage. What was happening covertly was wrong, they acted in a
principled fashion. Countries almost invariably punish whistleblowers. My country right or wrong stance, erodes our civil liberties, and promotes a culture of fear and repression. I will not willingly live that way.
 
Hmm, well don't forget that we also have submarines, so keep an ear listening though they are pretty silent...
 
Maybe you should just hoist a white sheet of surrender and share your feast and festivities with the crew. Hope you have a white sheet and not some other color as they may get the wrong message...

I'm with you Shalimar. I think the world needs to know what governments are doing to us for one thing. Transparency and the cold light of day on all their conniving and scheming. They're constantly bleating at us 'we're making you safer'. Yeah right....since when is the world safer with Britain telling it's airforce to blow Russian planes out of the sky, ISIS on the prowl (and we won't discuss how they came to be), Ukraine killing it's own citizens and governments being managed and manipulated, disposed of and/or supported even if they're dictators! Not safer, just more afraid.

Pretty sure a houseboat doesn't look like a hospital.

As to the cruise missile comment, true colours showing here?

Would that be OUR cruise missile.... Or Russia's. But be careful... they may hit Greenland instead... lol!! I hear they aren't such great shots...
 
Well since Ralph was the one threatening I guess it would be your cruise missile. As to Russia, well they're doing the job better over there to take out ISIS (with documentation and arial photos as proof apparently) than the US, Canada and the rest were pretending to do for a year. Besides, while you're laughing, don't forget the hospital (for thirty minutes AFTER notifying your side who they were).

Funnily enough (?) I was just reading the 'gun' thread where you QS said, 'Hasn't anyone noticed that the "gun culture" has become worse and more vocal...' just after Ralph 'threatening' to blow me (or was it Shalimar?) up with one of your cruise missiles. So I guess you'd be right about that attitude of violence and using guns to settle things getting worse. Even old people are getting in on the act.

What on earth ever happened to people trying to get along? Working out compromises, practising 'diplomacy' to settle disputes? Now it's all, 'pull out the guns and the bigger the better'.
