Obama should officially recognize Crimea as Russian territory in exchange for the delivery of Snowden's severed head in a gift-wrapped box to the White House.
I would hope it would be part of a larger agreement aimed at detente.
You guys are sick. Wishing a beheading is inhumane and in poor taste even if it's a joke.
Sympathy for traitors is more sickening to me than a good clean beheading of a rat like Snowden.
Oh please. He's stated time and time again that he did what he did out of the ideals this country was founded on. And have you ever heard him speak? It's quite clear that he did this because he believed what was going on was wrong.
As to whether we should cut a deal with him, or pardon him, I don't know. I think what he did was right, because he exposed an unconstitutional domestic spying program, but to pardon him would also be to perhaps tacitly encourage would-be whistleblowers. Snowden was justified, but others who might seek to leak information might not be. They could be doing for fame, for traitorous reasons, or otherwise. The best way out of this might be for a plea deal with specifically outlined reasons for why we're cutting a deal (other than the obvious one: he was right). I wouldn't object to Obama pardoning him on his last day in office though. There is the potential for repercussions though, which we would have to deal with.
