Edward Snowden had no options or channels for addressing concerns about illegal and immoral policies and practices within the NSA. He was committed enough to this country and the founding principles to destroy his own life in order to expose information about secret domestic surveillance programs of which the public had no knowledge, about which officials had lied for years. The methods he revealed were largely useless to us, and according to the best expert analysis, caused no harm through his disclosures, and may have helped us.
Trump will soon be your successor; there are grave concerns about his ties to Putin, and he has made alarming statements; Snowden's health and freedom are in jeopardy. Please don't allow this idealistic man to be tortured or killed. Ensure his safety.
