Jacob G. Hornberger: NATIONAL-SECURITY STATE TOADIES ARE GUILTY OF HYPOCRISY ON SNOWDEN

http://fff.org/2013/06/21/national-security-state-toadies-are-guilty-of-hypocrisy-on-snowden/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=national-security-state-toadies-are-guilty-of-hypocrisy-on-snowden

One of the most amusing aspects of the NSA scandal has been watching national-security state toadies berate Edward Snowden, the man who blew the whistle on the NSA’s longtime secret surveillance system, for being a “coward.”
Their rationale?
They say that Snowden should have stayed here in the United States instead of fleeing to Hong Kong. They say that if he were a genuine hero, as his supporters say he is, he would have remained in the United States, where the national-security state would have incarcerated him, tortured him, and executed him.
Oh?
