Edward Snowden promised to not release classified information as terms of employment and in the interest of national security. He signed documents that described to him the penalties under U.S law that he will face if he violates his trusted position. He had alternatives other than releasing classified materials to make his concerns about civil liberty violations known. He does not have the right to potentially endanger other Americans by releasing classified information because he does not believe the law is right. Edward Snowden should be prosecuted to the full extend of the law for his crimes.
