Re: Snowden leaves Hong Kong

Nationalistic interests rise higher than civil rights. It appears he will be treated like a traitor despite being a civilian contractor.

the whole point of fundamental natural rights is that they transcend all government interests.

As to Snowden, I read too Oliver Stone was going to make a movie on him.

I may agree with you regarding fundamental natural rights. However defending these has not been the history of powerful governments and empires. I believe it has usually been the case of "might makes right, and "end justifies the means." I don't think a piece of paper will protect Mr. Snowden.

On the other hand, the consequences and blowback have been interesting with much room for debate.
